Kwanza Hall Named Managing Partner/CEO Of Chattahoochee Trails



Former Congressman and Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall has been named managing partner and CEO of Chattahoochee Trails, a new organization intended to provide water reclamation and recreational opportunities along Atlanta’s underutilized Chattahoochee Riverfront.



“Atlanta has never had a riverfront – although we have a river,” says Hall. “Cities around the world have transformed their riverfronts into historic attractions for visitors and residents, and we can do the same here in Atlanta through the innovative use of our blue and green infrastructure.



“I’ve always loved innovation and technology,” says Hall, who attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a graduate of Benjamin E. Mays High School. “Nature and ecology have always been close to my heart, so this initiative is a natural progression from elective office to public service as a private citizen on behalf of the city I love.”

Planner’s rendering of Chattahoochee Trails
Plans for Chattahoochee Trails include a water hub to provide for water reclamation and reuse for industrial users along the riverfront, as well as a system of parks and trails along the river. Major environmental groups have endorsed plans for the water hub and connected greenspace, including the Trust for Public Land, which acknowledged the Chattahoochee Trails site as “particularly important, because it sits at the confluence of Proctor Creek and the Chattahoochee – which also is the terminus of what will be the Proctor Creek Trail (connecting to MARTA’s Bankhead Station and the Atlanta BeltLine).” The environmental group also said the project will “help connect northwest Atlanta, including low-resource communities, to the river. Too many Atlanta residents, especially people of color, lack easy access to the Chattahoochee. Creating new public space along the river within Atlanta will help address this inequity.”

Our campaign united Democrats all over Georgia to move our state forward with bold new leadership that reflects the diversity and values of our state. As an elected official or private citizen, I'll always be dedicated to uplifting the least among us by bringing prosperity to people and communities that have been left out and left behind. We have a lot more work to do, so my goal of opening 100,000 new minority and women owned businesses, and securing 30% minority participation in state contracts has only just begun.

Sincerely Yours In Service,

Congressman Kwanza Hall (Former GA 05)
