Buckhead International District advances one step towards reality
Posted by April lentini on Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 at 4:34pm.It was several months ago that I first wrote about efforts to create an International District in Buckhead to serve as a home for consulates, trade offices, and Multinational Companies. www.GlobalAtlanta.com has reported that this project has moved one step closer to being realized.
"A proposal to create an international district in Buckhead, where consulates, bi-national chambers of commerce, trade offices and multinational companies would be clustered, is headed to the next level.
