Now that the first phase of infrastructure has been addressed, members are turning their attention to a massive Stone Mountain tennis venue that was built for the 1996 Olympic Games. It was slated to be torn down, but now with a $40,000 grant and matching funds from the CID there's a feasibility study underway to see if the venue can be used for other things.David Stedman, Director of Economic Development said there are a number of possibilities.
"The first idea is to utilize it for all sorts of activities--tennis or gymnastics and also for other things like concerts and high school graduations," Stedman said.
If the stadium stays members are talking about the possibility of building in a transportation hub to support rail and other transit to bring people into the area.
