Beltline Bonds Approved by City of Atlanta
One of the most ambitious green projects Atlanta has ever conceived (The Beltline) is now set to move forward thanks to the Atlanta City Council’s vote this month to approve the sale of $117 million in bonds to fund the project. The total project expense is estimated to be $2.8 billion.
The Beltline project will combine greenspace, trails, transit and new development along 22 miles of historic rail segments that encircle Atlanta’s urban core, linking development, transit / trails, and greenspace in ways that transform existing intown areas into vibrant mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly urban environments.
Here’s a brief overview of what the beltline will bring to our city.
- 22 miles of light rail transit
- 1,200 acres of greenspace
- 5,600 workforce housing units
- economic development
- brownfield remediation
- historic preservation

I’ve been watching the groanings of the last little while, and the US nation is completely tanking. But why does the value of the US dollar constantly rise?
I (or at least my understanding ) is that when the Fed printed more money, that would devalue the US dollar, causing it to crash and burn.
The only circumstance that I can think of of is that maybe other countries are devaluing their own currency so as not to kill their exports to the USA? (I got the theory listening to a national program on Canadian tv)
Any opinions?
