Dynamic Downtown is Focus of March 14th Central Atlanta Progress
Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration
Event will honor leaders and institutions that have made a significant impact on the City
ATLANTA – Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (ADID) will host their 2017 Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration on Tuesday, March 14 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. Beginning with coffee and networking at 7:00 am, the breakfast program will bring together more than 1,000 of the city’s top business, community and political leaders for a compelling and entertaining event that is not to be missed.
With the theme Dynamic Downtown, CAP’s signature event will showcase the organization’s recent accomplishments, which range from infrastructure and place making projects to vibrancy and beautification programs. With a dense urban core of walkable streets, varied transportation options, historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, unique local businesses and forthcoming catalytic real estate developments, it’s no surprise that more and more people, organizations and businesses are drawn to Downtown’s dynamic present and bright future.
“Downtown is in a period of remarkable growth and investment, and CAP continues to shepherd the center city into a place of economic and physical vibrancy,” said CAP/ADID President A.J. Robinson. “Our 2017 Annual Meeting will reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, showcase the people and institutions that have left an indelible mark on Downtown, and highlight exciting up and coming developments and trends in our district.”
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed will provide remarks at the event, which will also honor the achievements of two exemplary citizens. Ambassador Andrew Young will receive the Dan Sweat Award, and retired Atlanta Police Chief George Turner will be given the Turner Downtown Community Leadership Award. The Marcus Downtown Economic Impact Award will be presented to Georgia State University. CAP will also formally install its 2017-18 leadership, including its new Chairman of the Board, Rich McKay, president and CEO of the Atlanta Falcons.
