Airport Loop Rd, Georgia

Atlanta Industrial Park is situated along Fulton Industrial Boulevard on the western side of Atlanta. As the name suggests, this is a major industrial and transportation (trucking) hub for Atlanta and the southeastern United States. I heard a local politician say that this area is the largest distribution hub (by ground transportation) east of the Mississippi River. Whether this tidbit is true or not, you do get the idea that this area is no known for notable residential spots and fun recreational diversions (at least not the legal kind)!

You see, until recently, this area was known more for attracting a seamy side of Atlanta, than for its business centers. Reportedly, prostitution and drugs were rampant in the area just less than 5 years ago, but that has reputation is gone now. Recently the Fulton County Government Center and a Fulton County Police Department located new offices there, driving out the riff –raft, and restoring confidence of business owners and visitors alike in this commercial district. Litter and abandoned businesses have been replaced by decorative road medians and family restaurants. It is now a safe industrial center, with room to grow.

The Atlanta Industrial Park is experiencing an economic renaissance. New investors are snapping up nicely priced warehouses and manufacturing centers, bringing new life the Atlanta Industrial Park and surrounding areas.
