Downtown Locust Grove is located just south of
Atlanta in Henry County. Originally a trainstop,
this once bustling downtown suffers abandonment
due to the convenience of strip malls, big box and
outlet stores. The City utilized Transportation
Enhancement (TE) funds to begin the revitalization
of their downtown. jB+a provided a visioning plan,
highlighting future project needs including pedestrian
improvements, connections and historical site
identity. Design and construction documents were
created for the historic business district along Ga.
Highway 42 and Cleveland Street. A one block
“cut-thru” street was closed to create a city park.
A combination of brick and stamped concrete, new
sidewalks are designed to look like historic wood
planks. Decorative lighting, reminiscent of the
railroad, landscaping, street trees, and furniture
elements add to the pedestrian experience.
