In late 2007, Associate Matt Cherry performed some pro-bono work for the Atlanta Downtown Neighborhood Association, creating design concepts to revitalize Barbara Asher Square (aka Broad Street Plaza). The process engaged both city officials and the Five Points Task force in addressing this problem area in Downtown Atlanta, while making headlines in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The New York Times. It has now been recently announced that Central Atlanta Progress has secured federal stimulus funds to transform the area with various lighting, paver, planter and landscaping upgrades.
