Atlanta residents passionate about the future of the historic Chattahoochee Brick Company site will have a direct line to City Hall as Mayor Andre Dickens is set to join the final community meeting focused on the site and the broader Atlanta RiverLands project, according to a City of Atlanta announcement.

The gathering marks the closing chapter of a public engagement process that has invited Atlantans to weigh in on how one of the city’s most storied — and long-neglected — riverfront properties should be transformed. The Chattahoochee Brick Company site carries deep historical significance for Atlanta, and its redevelopment as part of the RiverLands initiative represents an opportunity to reclaim that land for public benefit along the Chattahoochee River corridor.

The Atlanta RiverLands project envisions a connected network of parks, trails, and green spaces stretching along the Chattahoochee, creating new outdoor amenities for residents across the city. Community meetings like this one have been central to shaping that vision, ensuring that neighbors — not just planners — have a say in what rises along the riverbanks.

Mayor Dickens’ personal participation in the final session signals strong commitment from the city’s top office to see the project through with community input front and center. For residents who have attended earlier sessions or simply care about green space, river access, and honoring Atlanta’s history, this closing meeting represents both a milestone and a moment of momentum.

The effort reflects a growing citywide enthusiasm for reclaiming and beautifying Atlanta’s natural corridors — turning underused or forgotten land into thriving public spaces where families can gather, walk, and connect with the outdoors. As the RiverLands vision continues to take shape, the final community meeting stands as a reminder that Atlanta’s future is being built with residents’ voices leading the way.
