Surrounding Civic Facilities Due to the fact that Atlantic Station does not have any Civic Facilities avaliable on the property, the residents of the development will have to depend on the surrounding areas for schools, churches, community centers, etc. Speaking of civic activities, there is a reason for there not being any. One thought is that when dealing with civic activities there are numerous other complications that arise within a development. Another reason for the lack of civic facilities is the promotion of the retail as the center of the development. According to Brian Leary, they want to promote a feeling of safety and community so having a police department or fire department will give the impression that this area is not safe; it needs cops to walk the beet and make sure everything is fine. As far as other civic facilities like schools and churches, it was researched by the Jacoby team and found out that especially schools in the Atlanta area are in need of more students anyhow so developing these facilities in Atlantic Station would only hinder the rest of the community along with itself. Below shows some of the avaliable civic facilities in a 5 mile radius around Atlantic Station.
