ABOUT THE OLD NATIONAL HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR (GA 279)

The Old National Highway Commercial Corridor is home to more than 500 business establishments. From bookstores, boutiques and hotels, to restaurants, entertainment facilities and financial institutions, the Corridor offers a vibrant mix of goods and services.

Accessibility is a strong suit. Daily, some 50,000 vehicles, including MARTA buses, traverse Old National Highway, which connects directly to I-85 and I-285 and is five minutes from I-75. The Corridor is 5 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, 7 minutes from the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park, and 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta.

The Old National Corridor falls into two political jurisdictions, the City of College Park and Fulton County. For more information and assistance locating a business on the Old National Corridor, contact Gary Young with the City of College Park, GA, at gyoung@collegeparkga.com
