The
Hartsfield Incinerator site offers an opportunity to host a variety of
social activities for the region as well the adjacent neighborhoods. The
site has a large open, relatively flat, currently hardsurfaced area, which
directly lends itself to the development of a permanent plaza for social
celebrations and gatherings of all types. Arts festivals, craft fairs,
ethnic celebrations, and musical events could be held at the Hartsfield
Incinerator site and a plaza would provide an adequate setting to host
any and all of these activities. Festivals and fairs could help provide
a citywide identity for the site and a source of revenue for the Chattahoochee
Riverway projects.

for portable festival display booths and a central plaza area with a focal
point designed to hold a water feature. The area incorporates a number
of lawn areas and raised planters for trees and seating. Access is provided
by a grand staircase or an elevator from the building or a long handicap
accessible ramp, which circles the area.
