Downtown Stone Mountain to get needed Face-lift

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution


The city of Stone Mountain is stepping from the shadow of one of the largest granite domes in America with, of all things, sidewalks.

The sidewalks will be made of brick and granite pavers in a special pattern. They will be wider, illuminated by decorative street lights and, eventually, shaded by new trees.

And they’ll put Stone Mountain in the company of many metro Atlanta cities that have used streetscapes to pretty themselves up for both the people who are already there and whoever it is they wish would come. That reinvigorating downtowns also can boost city coffers doesn’t hurt, either.
