Developer proposes creation of 140-acre Town Center on Old National Highway in South Fulton
Developer BBI Development Group is proposing a new Town Center for the City of South Fulton. The developer first started planning in 2022, according to their website for the project.
The project, called Town Center at Mansa Park, would be on Old National Highway and Pleasant Hill Road and include a condominium tower, apartments, three hotels, six office buildings, two restaurants and two retail spaces.
"The Old National Highway Corridor is one of the region's most densely populated areas and serves as the largest commercial corridor within the City's limits. Only a few miles from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the Corridor is a critical part of the City's economic viability," BBI Development Group says on a site for the proposed development.
In total, the development plan is proposing the construction of 494 condo units and 1,032 workforce apartments, or 1,526 individual residences.

According to details submitted to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs as part of the Development of Regional Impact filings, the overall project is expected to be finished by 2030.
The latest filings are for rezoning permits to move the project forward.
"This proposed development will generate substantial revenue for the City through property, sales and hotel taxes and will create thousands of new jobs. BBI is proud to make such a significant investment in the City and is committed to serving this community for many years to come‚" the developer said, though a more specific revenue estimate was not available in the company's filings or the proposal site.

Wastewater helping track spread of measles in GA
As measles cases continue to rise across the US, researchers are now using sewage wastewater to track the virus. It's testing similar to what scientists did during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sewage was tested for virus particles that helped identify early signs of increasing transmission. Measles cases could potentially be identified days before people show symptoms or have to go to a doctor. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The new program is available for use at dozens of wastewater treatment plants in 40 states. In Georgia, they'll be testing in College Park and Columbus. In Fulton County, they'll be testing at Big Creek, Johns Creek, and Little River facilities. And in Atlanta, they'll be testing at R.M. Clayton, South River, and Utoy Creek facilities. As of Wednesday, nearly 1,100 measles cases have been reported in the US, with three deaths confirmed. In Georgia, there have not been any confirmed cases since May 19, and up until that date, there were four cases so far this year in Georgia.
