.....I will have start from the beginning, and work my way to the present time :

Start off by building a Temple of Justice
+
Build a state of the art prison facility
+
Rezone the county for apartment dwellings
+
Provide section 8 housing for the poverty stricken residents
+
Start Blockbusting the neighborhoods
+
Wait for Atlanta to demolish their government housing projects
+
Throw out the welcome matte for our new residents
+
Sponsor Voter Registration For Our New Residents
+
Watch the rising crime rates
+
Elect incompetent officials
+
Discredit the school system
+
Let corruption go unchecked
+
Bring in the media to advertise the crime and our shady officials
+
Watch the Business Closings go unnoticeable
+
And watch our property values plummet to nothing..

.....While Clayton County economic growth has taken a nose dive :

The Economic Growth of Coweta County Ga.

"Clayton County leaders have begun development of a new strategic plan"

The plan will recommend ways that the county can take advantage of its many economic development strengths, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport; transportation and logistics assets such as access to air transportation, an extensive rail network, and Interstate highway connections; location at the center of the metropolitan Atlanta area; a strong core of established industry; a growing four-year public university, and a water system with sufficient capacity.

....Riddle me with this :

.........And how long has Clayton County not taken advantage of Our, (already), Existing Airport, Our Highway Transportation System, our location to the hub of Atlanta ?

...I have been living in Clayton County since 1960, and what I seen is this :

....The Airport has been using the land of Clayton County for expansions to more Runways. This has made the northern section of Clayton County a path of overhead flights, for takeoffs & landings.....Not to mention the destruction of self contained communities during that time frame.

......The Highway System around Clayton County, is second to none. While residing in the most northern area of Clayton County, since 1960, I have witnessed the construction of I-85 , the 285 perimeter bypass, and the Airport bypass. This too, split up neighborhoods in the northern area of the county.

........Questions that you can begin asking yourself :

....What purpose does Clayton County currently serve ?

DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT
Clayton County
Justice Complex
Jonesboro, Georgia

A major feature of this county detention facility, housing 2000 inmates, was
the use of six-sided precast cell modules that were fully upfitted.

.......It seems to me that our Prison system, in Clayton County, is not suffering from the lack of growth.
