Campaign website

Brown's campaign website stated the following:

“

Revitalizing the Workforce
We will develop the next generation of workers by creating living-wage jobs and provide opportunities to upskill and retrain residents to assist in advancing their careers.

Create living-wage jobs: Municipal enterprises provide a way to provide high-quality, low-cost goods and services to create sustainable jobs without investing in other social programs.
Retrain & upskill workers: A thriving city relies on skilled workers in all industries by offering opportunities for professional development and the acquisition of new, in-demand skills.
Provide career advancement: The City will capitalize on the success of federally funded programs to better serve residents looking to receive job training for jobs in the private sector.

Initiatives

Establish a workforce training program with a $250 million workforce development bond funded by employee payroll education. The fund will create thousands of new skilled labor jobs to revitalize our workforce and fix our City's crumbling infrastructure.
Partner with Atlanta labor unions to develop a citywide apprenticeship program that will provide participants with job opportunities in trades, such as electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, health care, and IT that pay well and are always in demand.

Build a public-private partnership to create a water-bottling enterprise to combat underemployment of the young Atlantans dubbed "the Water Boys." The program will legitimize the safe and environmentally friendly sale of water while promoting their entrepreneurial spirit.

Enhance economic opportunities
We will cultivate new job opportunities by reinvigorating existing small businesses, promoting entrepreneurship, and attracting new community-focused businesses to Atlanta.

Reinvigorate small business: Covid-19 was a disaster for small businesses, with Black-owned businesses amongst the hardest hit. Small businesses must have access to capital in order to expand and recover post-pandemic.
Promote entrepreneurship: Today's startups are tomorrow's large businesses. Let's nurture and fund Atlanta's innovators to build a new generation of small business owners, who employ over half our nation's workfoce.
Redefine land use & zoning: The City should reduce the negative impact of outdated zoning and land-use policies on new business development, with a focus on creating attractive and accessible neighborhoods.

Initiatives

Establish a student entrepreneurs of Atlanta program to create an alternative pathway for high school juniors and seniors to become entrepreneurs and/or create career opportunities in the creative industries.
Expand small business recovery funding to restaurants and lounges for post-pandemic resurgence.

Simplify the permitting and Certificate of Occupancy process for small businesses.
Streamline the automated business license renewal process so that licenses can be renewed within 72 hours.
Reform zoning and land-use regulations to remove barriers and empower small business development.

Improve mobility for all
We will provide safe and equitable access to work, school, and other destinations in our great City by improving mass transit, enhancing walkability, and promoting alternative transportation.

Improve mass transit: A reliable and effective public transportation system will reduce traffic and parking congestion while allowing residents to commute to work, school and throughout the city.
Create walkable neighborhoods: Every resident should feel safe to walk in their own neighborhood. We must improve sidewalks and crosswalks, demolish or improve dilapidated housing, and eliminate trash and illegal dumping.
Promote alternative transportation: By promoting biking, car-sharing, and carpooling, we can make our city healthier and less congested.

Expand license plate reader network in low income communities to hold violators responsible and deter trash and illegal dumping.
Continue renegotiating Georgia Power contract to reduce overspending and increase street lights in high-risk areas.

Modernize our infrastructure
We will envision Atlanta as a city of the future by improving access to the internet, embracing new technological innovations, and making city processes more accessible and transparent.

Expand Internet connectivity: From school to work to social life, the internet is a constant part of our daily lives. The city should have 5G hotspots in all neighborhoods with a priority placed on parks and in high-density neighborhoods.
Embrace new technologies: We must better utilize advanced technological innovations to improve safety, coordinate emergency response, and reduce traffic congestion.
Automate city processes & services: Improve efficiency of City departments and processes by streamlining city management to reduce waste and redundancies.

Initiatives

The TCC will optimize traffic signal timing to coordinate emergency vehicle response and alleviate congestion in real time, while also adapting to changing weather conditions.
Expand the regional traffic operations program (RTOP) to improve traffic signal synchronization through the installation of additional fiber optic cables.
Collaborate with a third-party internet service provider to install 5G boxes throughout the city with the goal of providing free Wi-Fi to all residents, prioritizing parks and low-income neighborhoods.
Become a pioneer in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology that will allow vehicles to autonomously communicate with each other and with the transportation grid itself. C-V2X will serve as a foundation for next-generation transportation connectivity.

We will confront the crisis of mass gentrification and poverty by creating more affordable housing, providing better access to resources for the unsheltered.

Expand affordable housing: As housing development costs continue to rise, we must construct more affordable housing through incentives and public-private partnerships.
Care for the unsheltered: Broaden the City's "Housing First" approach to homelessness by removing barriers and providing wraparound services to support a transition to permanent housing.
Address the city's blight: Build public-private partnerships that incentivizes the development of vacant and dilapidated properties to increase housing opportunities in the community.

Increase participation in the affordable housing permit fee waiver program by providing awareness, access. and technical assistance to housing developers.

Generate financial stability
We will empower our residents to achieve long-term financial stability by expanding first-time home ownership and create financial independence.

Expand home ownership: Many Atlanta residents are unable to afford the large down payments and credit checks required to purchase a home. New programs that remove barriers for first-time home-buyers will provide residents a path to financial stability.
Increase financial independence: The city must support residents impacted by generational poverty on their journal to financial independence. In addition to education, residents should have the tools to address reducing the debt that plagues many low- and middle-income households

Initiatives

Establish the Jimmy Carter fund to help homeowners and legacy residents who may be impacted by gentrification and are struggling to keep and maintain their homes.
Expand first-time homeownership by establishing the Maynard Jackson fund to provide first-time home buyer down payment assistance, technical assistance, and financial education.

Explore a public-private partnership with a local community bank to establish a program that teaches personal financial management, budgeting and investing skills that, upon completion, allows residents a debt-forgiveness or interest-free debt consolidation program.

Inspire trust in public safety
We will reimagine public safety by expanding training and resources for our officers, continue building our non-emergency response team, and improving outcomes for at-risk youth.

Provide support to officers: By creating The Center for Social Justice & Public Safety Training Facility, we can provide officers with the resources and training to better respond to public safety matters.
Dispatch unarmed responders: Expand our team of non-emergency responders that will be responsible for all non-emergency and community service functions to better support our policing division.
Improve outcomes for at-risk youth: We must proactively engage at-risk youth to provide wraparound services and support and develop conflict resolution services to deal with gang-related activity.

Initiatives

Nurture health & wellness
By expanding City programs to create physical wellness opportunities and creating new avenues for recovery and treatment, we will creat a more vibrant community.

Access to health food: Our low-income neighborhoods are "food deserts" where often the only place to buy food is convenience stores. By creating urban farmers markets, we can bring healthy food to these communities.
Promote healthy living: The City must create a better bike network that will allow for residents to promote healthier lifestyles while also reducing car traffic.
Mental health & substance abuse: We must partner with the City's counties to develop aggressive treatment programs to reduce the harm of mental illness and drug abuse in our community.

Initiatives

Expand partnership with Mercy Care facilities in low income areas to provide access to mental health, substance abuse and dnetal services to residents

Evaluate creating a new tourist experience within our parks system that can generate revenue for the City to improve and maintain our parks.

Engage the community

Improve communications: Create a centralized city communications department specifically tasked with increasing access to information, resources, and programs to address the disenfranchisement of residents.
Increase civic participation: Engagement starts at the neighborhood level, and we must make it easier for residents to be active in their Neighborhood Planning Unit (NPU).
