ARC grant for Doraville redevelopment ATLANTA, GA (WABE) - Federal funds will help Doraville figure out what should replace the closed General Motors plant. The Atlanta Regional Commission has awarded Doraville a $100,000 grant to create a master plan to redevelop the old plant.

Redeveloping the site is not solely on Doraville's shoulders. GM is actually selling the 165 acre property to Florida-based developer New Broad Street Companies. New Broad Street has not released development plans. Doraville officials hope to work with the company.

The site has infinite possibilities according to ARC comprehensive planning director Tom Wyatt.

"It has good access to a good highway system. Plus, it has obviously good access potential access to the existing MARTA station in Doraville," Wyatt said. "So, it's really got all the components for creating something fairly unique there."

Planning will begin in the coming months. © Copyright 2012, WABE
