Mayor Ravi Bhalla, elected officials, and residents celebrated the acquisition of an acre of land at Block 10 for the expansion of the city’s Southwest Resiliency Park and launched construction for the new pop-up park.
Last month, the city announced an agreement to acquire Block 10 from Academy Bus for $11 million.
Now, Block 10 – bounded by Marshall Street to the west, New York Avenue to the south, Harrison Street to the east, and buildings to the north- will become public, open space and double the size of the adjacent Southwest Resiliency Park.

Olson Kundig has unveiled the design of 760 Ralph McGill Boulevard, a new mixed-use high-rise development situated along Atlanta’s BeltLine. Led by project developer New City, LLC, the 1.1 million-square-foot structure will include office and retail spaces organized around a central plaza. The project expands local civic and cultural amenities, and introduces a new flexible and functional workplace that also serves the surrounding community.
Located on the site of a former Georgia Power operations center, the project is designed to create new urban connections between Old Fourth Ward Park and the Atlanta BeltLine alley. The project is organized around two portals, the first frames the downtown area, while the other frames the historic Fourth Ward park. In terms of transportation access, the central plaza will have a connection to Beltline s light rail station and will incorporate a bike route that links the BeltLine Bicycle Trail with the inner-city trails.

A new farmer’s market is coming to Janesville, starting this week.
The Janesville Muslim Dawa Circle received city approval to start the Janesville Open Market on its property at 200 South High Street.
Mosque director Salih Erschen said it follows their religious tradition to start up a public market after establishing their place of worship.
The goal of the weekly event is to bring fresh, healthy foods into Janesville’s Fourth Ward neighborhood, which Erschen called a “food desert.”
The Janesville Open Market will run every Wednesday from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Erschen is still accepting additional vendors. This week’s inaugural market will feature live music from Abdusamad Zantow.
