InfraStrategies supported Atlanta BeltLine Inc. (ABI) with the development of a financial plan and implementation strategy for the remaining portions of the 22-mile multiuse trail loop, connector trails, parks, and other proposed improvements around the core of Atlanta, Georgia. Program funding also supported the Beltline’s affordable housing and economic development goals and leveraged public, private and philanthropic funding sources.

The team worked with ABI leadership to develop a financial model, recommend a baseline program of funded projects that will be completed with available funding by 2031, and recommend strategies to fund and implement additional program elements. The team also recommended financial strategies to fund long-term operations and maintenance costs of the Atlanta BeltLine assets after the Atlanta BeltLine’s primary funding source – the Atlanta BeltLine Tax Allocation District (TAD) – expires in December 2030. Findings were documented in the 2030 Strategic Implementation Plan Update published in April 2024.

As a follow-on task, InfraStrategies is supporting regular updates to the financial model and design and construction cash flows.
