What is a Livable Centers Initiative Plan?
The Atlanta Regional Commission’s Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) is a grant program that incentivizes local jurisdictions, like the City of Powder Springs, to re-envision their communities as vibrant, walkable places that offer increased mobility options, encourage healthy lifestyles and provide improved access to jobs and services.
The ARC board has allocated $600 million through 2050 to fund transportation projects resulting from completed LCI studies.
​

What Will This Updated Plan Do For Powder Springs?
The City of Powder Springs last updated its "Springs in Motion" LCI Plan in 2016.
