College Park is currently undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history, aiming to capitalize on its unique location.
* **Six West Development:** Formerly known as "Airport City," Six West is a massive 311-acre mixed-use development project located on land originally purchased by the airport for noise mitigation. The master plan includes Class-A office spaces, luxury hotels, retail, dining, and residential units, designed to be a premier regional destination. * **Aerotropolis Atlanta:** The city is a key player in the Aerotropolis blueprint, an economic strategy to transform the airport from a mere transit hub into a central driver for surrounding corporate headquarters, logistics, and entertainment. * **Gateway Center Expansion:** Building on the success of the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) and the Gateway Center Arena (home to the WNBA's Atlanta Dream and NBA G League's College Park Skyhawks), further hospitality and entertainment infrastructure is planned for the immediate area. * **Pedestrian and Transit Connectivity:** Plans are underway to improve walkability, expand bike paths, and better connect the historic downtown to the MARTA station and the new Six West development.
