Rockdale County Planning and Development Awarded Grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission

Rockdale County, GA —The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded Rockdale County Planning and Development a Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) grant to support the county’s first-ever housing assessment. The grant helps local governments and nonprofits tackle community challenges and improve the quality of life.

Chosen through a competitive process, the projects reflect a wide range of community priorities. Each will receive customized support from ARC staff and targeted funding to meet local needs. Rockdale County is one of seven recipients.

Rockdale County will work with ARC staff on a housing assessment to better understand local housing needs and future community development. The goal is to support aging in place, offer more housing options, and make homes more accessible and affordable for all residents.
