Established by the Buckhead Community Improvement District (CID), HUB404 will link Lenox Road and Georgia 400, linking the PATH400 Greenway Trail, Atlanta Beltline, MARTA, neighboring streets and neighborhood parks. HUB404's mission is to create a world-class community-driven green space that showcases the best of Atlanta.
“HUB404 will showcase the culture, art and events that make Atlanta shine. We are limited only by our collective imagination, and we’re asking Atlanta to help make HUB404 a reality,” added Rodríguez.
The campaign kicks off as the project is set to begin engineering the bridges over Lenox Road in 2023, with engineering of the main section from Lenox Road to Peachtree Road expected to begin in 2024.
