“Metro is a national leader in joint development, and Atworth is a great example of what our program is all about: revitalizing underused properties, expanding affordable housing and access to Metro stations, and unlocking economic benefits to support Metro as a connector to the region. This project will generate ridership and revenue for Metro, as well as support residential expansion, businesses, and tax revenue for our local and state partners.”
