According to the latest ARC population estimates, the 10-county Atlanta region* added some 52,700 people between April 1, 2013, and April 1, 2014, a sure sign that the economic recovery is continuing. While not as robust as growth during the boom years of the 1990s and early 2000s, this growth is greater than last year’s, and puts the region’s total population at 4,272,300, a number that is larger than the populations of 24 states.

“The Atlanta region’s job growth is on the rise,” said Mike Alexander, manager of ARC’s Research & Analytics Division. “Because the Atlanta region is an attractive place for employers and employees, we tend to attract people from all over the country, creating more in-migration than out-migration.” All 10 counties experienced growth during the year. Cherokee County added 4,200, Henry County 3,200, Douglas County 1,300, Fayette County 1,300, Rockdale County 1,200 and Clayton County 1,000. The City of Atlanta’s growth trend also continued, with the city adding 4,100 people, driven in large part by new multi-family developments and an influx of young professionals.

The Fairview area is expected to be one of the fastest growing areas in the County over the next few years. The Fairview Road widening project will help to meet that demand. As one of the biggest transportation projects remaining on Henry County's SPLOST III project list, it consists of widening nearly two miles of roadway to four lanes, from Anvil Block Road to just beyond the intersection of Panola and Fairview roads.

More than 200 people came out to celebrate the start of the Fairview Road widening project and the Fairview Medical Center. Together, these two projects will improve access to healthcare, stimulate commerce in the area and improve commute times for citizens.

Upon completion, the Fairview Medical Center is projected to employ over 1,300 people directly and indirectly, with an estimated economic impact of $185 million.

Features of the intersection will include:• Decorative stamped concrete crosswalks• Mast arm signal poles and lighted street names• Decorative light posts• Enhanced landscaping

As part of my vision to transform Henry County's District 5 into a "health and wellness community," this road will also be the first in the County to include the installation of eight foot wide, multi-use paths on both sides of the road.

The Fairview Medical Center will be the first phase of a major mixed use campus. Preliminary plans call for:

Planning and site development is expected to be completed by the end of first quarter 2014.

Additionally, Henry County has been working in conjunction with the PATH Foundation on developing a design and layout for a trail to run from Panola State Park to Austin Road, a much anticipated and popular amenity for the community.

There are also several fully-funded community projects that will bring value to the area and medical complex. Recently approved SPLOST IV Projects for North Henry County include:

The Bellamy Brothers Memorial Park- splash pad, soccer & lacrosse fields, pavilions, walking trails

A new sewer project for North Henry A new police precinct A new fire station A number of intersection and road improvements

Quality of life improvements are just the start of my long range goal to establish a 'Health and Wellness Community' in North Henry. The community, both private and business, have shown great support and pride and, to that point, I simply say, 'the best is yet to come.'

Judging by the turnout for the groundbreaking ceremony, citizens are very excited to see these two projects get

underway as well as witness the transformation of North Henry County.

And we will work diligently to alleviate this shortage which will benefit the residents of the community,“ stated Dr. Greg Daniel, CEO of Nidus Development.
