Alta led the development of a successful $20 million 2021 RAISE grant application (“High Point on the Rise”) for the City of High Point, the City’s first application towards this project. Funded through NCDOT, Alta led the team of City staff, City management, and NCDOT, including designing the application, developing the content, assisting the City with cost estimates, and performing a benefit-cost analysis. The urban multimodal greenway and streetscape project will connect lower income communities of color in southwest High Point to the City’s mass transit facilities and essential services like the Wake Forest Baptist Health-High Point Medical Center, High Point Public Library, the High Point Greenway, commercial development, and recreation destinations like the new $35M Truist Stadium. This aims to enhance equitable access to public investments and community assets, spur transit oriented economic development, and provide a safe, sustainable, and active route of transportation for walking, bicycling, and micromobility.
