A short time ago, the City of Riverdale received a grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission through its Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) program to conduct a ‘Town Center’ feasibility study. The study was initiated in 2006 and completed in 2007.

The study was successful in assisting the City towards achieving the following: 

• Increasing the City’s ability to attract new business and economic development opportunities.

• Solving a number of the City’s current transportation concerns and identifying and securing valued resources.

• Identifying a physical location within the City to serve as the City’s new Downtown and “Town Center” project location.

The Riverdale Town Center project is currently underway. It is located on a parcel, on Church Street, that spans over twenty seven acres. The project comprises the following components:

• Government Civic Component (Riverdale Centre for the Arts, Business & Leisure Services, a new City Hall, and a Public Plaza/Amphitheater)

• Mixed-Use Commercial Component

• Residential Housing Component
