From public space maintenance to weekly concerts and performances, ADID continues its mission to create a more vibrant Downtown for everyone. Last year, our dedicated Clean Team and Ambassador Force worked day in and day out to improve our community, often addressing challenges that few others would. I’m also proud to share that the Outreach Team helped more people than ever in 2023 by connecting the most vulnerable members of our community with the resources they need.

In addition to our day-to-day operations, ADID also completed two major projects in 2023: sidewalk improvements on Courtland Street and a bike lane on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. Arts & Entertainment Atlanta completed its fourth year of programming and grants, and our placemaking efforts brought over 200 public events to the Broad Street Boardwalk and Woodruff Park.

It takes empathetic and loyal people to be stewards of Downtown Atlanta. Not everyone wants to take on that role, but ADID does. And I can honestly say that after twenty years as chairman, I’m prouder than ever of our teams and the work they do.
