The Big Picture:
Bringing Quality of Living thru Economic
and Community Development
by Commissioner Bruce Holmes
Commissioner
Bruce Holmes is committed
to the economic develop-
ment of Northern Henry
County as it is one of the
fastest growing segments in
that county. North Henry
offers a high quality of life,
low cost of living, revital-
ized easy access and prox-
imity to downtown Atlanta
and Hartsfield-Jackson At-
lanta International Airport,
historical and cultural ame-
nities, outdoor, recreational
and soon the performing
arts. A new $20,000,000
Performing Arts Center
(PAC) will fit well within
Fairview’s health and well-
ness community complet-
ing the overall vision for
the area.
“I'm happy that
Nidus and Henry Coun-
ty Board of Education
believed in my vision to
redevelop this area into a
health and wellness com-
munity,” said Commission-
er Bruce Holmes. “Both
developments will anchor
this tri-county commercial
corridor and this area will
be a destination for quality
medical care, retail, healthy
living, while benefiting our
youth in the area of intel-
lectual capital development
and enrichment.
“The road in-
frastructure has been
improved and aligned
with beautification and 8'
multi-use paths, Holmes
explained. “Village Park at
North Henry located adja-
cent to this development
has finally opened adding
even more walkability to
the area. Construction of
the Fairview Rd/ Anvil
Block Rd realignment was
recently approved and con-
struction has begun. This
new alignment will connect
Anvil Block and Fairview
roads putting our health and
wellness commercial corri-
dor closer to I-675. Lastly,
I’m very thankful that the
Henry County Board of Ed-
ucation recently approved
the Fairview Performing
Arts Center. Along with
the other investments in
the area, this center with
contribute to youth enrich-
ment, youth exposure and
economic development.
I'm proud of the
Henry County Board of
Education’s decision to in-
vest in our youth and I look
forward to the completion
of this beautiful facility.
