Atlanta Regional Commission

The Atlanta Regional Commission was created in 2008 by the Georgia Legislature.  Federal grants to states required that all states create unelected regional governance to implement UN Agenda 21.

Funding ARC includes the State of Georgia and federal grants totaling about $70 million a year.  Expenses include staff at about $20 million a year plus grants to CIDs, cities and counties about $50 million a year.  That’s where you got your bike lanes, multi-use paths, streetcars and other fluff. 

ARC is dedicated to the development of high density transit villages located by MARTA stations.

ARC is also interested in your water and what to do with old people. They’ve been grasping for straws to find a purpose since their T-SPLOST was defeated in 2012.

ARC pretends to rule over 10 counties they included in Region 3.  The real metro counties actually include Fulton, DeKalb and the City of Atlanta.  The other counties don’t have MARTA trains and most of these rural counties could do without ARC and so could the others.

ARC Chairman Kerry Armstrong is a developer.  ARC gives grants to developer projects aimed at packing high-rise office buildings and apartments next to MARTA and a Mall in a Community Improvement District (CID).

Multi-national companies are pressured to locate in these CIDs and support the rest of UN Agenda 21. Their goal is to eliminate cars and have everybody live, work, bike and walk, but not drive.  The problem is that the apartment rents are too high for most folks.

If any of the above are your elected officials, you might ask them why they are involved in ARC and UN Agenda 21 implementation. You may get a load about economic development and millennials, but most of them are still living with their relatives. UN Agenda 21 has listed Atlanta as one of the “mega-cities” they want to use to house “the workforce”.

Many of us believe that the Georgia Legislature should repeal HB 1266 and HB 277, the Bills that created “regionalism” and unelected governance in Georgia.
