"Imagine being able to tell our visitors each year simply to step onto Peachtree and the streetcar will take them wherever they wish to go along the Peachtree Corridor,” says Spurgeon Richardson, CEO of Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The streetcar would undoubtedly serve as an incredible benefit to the tourism and convention industry. Hundreds of world class restaurants, theaters, museums, art galleries and other retail shops would easily be within visitors' reach, and these organizations would in turn benefit from the increased volume the streetcar would bring. We look forward to working with Atlanta Streetcar, Inc. to help the Streetcar become an asset to the convention and tourism industry.”
