Marietta Street widening and paving project gains momentum
In 1911 property owners along the south railroad side between Thurmond and Impson streets backed a plan to locate Marietta Street at the line. After 13 months a final accord was reached on March 7, 1912, with total costs borne by city Fulton County Georgia Railway and Electric Company and property owners totaling 355 800 dollars. The project reshaped a three mile stretch from Foundry street to the city limits with wood block and asphalt pavement. Officials anticipate four story buildings and rising values as the area redevelops. A grand barbecue is planned for June to honor officials and supporters of the improvement.
