Just like Little 5 Points is known for its lively bohemian culture and Sweet Auburn for its esteemed Civil Rights heritage, the Historic West End offers a distinctive blend of Afrocentric history and culture supplemented by the vibrancy of Lee + White Complex and the Atlanta Beltline.

The recent development of the Lee + White business complex provides the perfect opportunity to launch a new and exciting marketing campaign to brand the West End as a sought-after destination for businesses, shoppers, and investors.

The best way to accomplish this is through collective, collaborative teamwork. Instead of going it alone, when we work together it's easier to:
• address mutual concerns like safety, crime, trash and debris,
• share best practices and resources for problem-solving and business development, and
• develop a central marketing platform to increase our customer base.
