Atlanta, GA (11/8/2007) - West Village was awarded the 2007 "Development of Excellence" Award by the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Livable Communities Coalition.

ARC and LCL are joint partners in the promotion of the Developments of Excellence Awards program.

"We worked with the Atlanta Regional Commission during our planning process to make sure West Village would become the kind of community that would make metro Atlanta a better place to live," said Woody Snell, Partner with the Pacific Group. "West Village has brought the Smyrna community together with a variety of places to shop, eat and live. We offer something for everyone in a classic neighborhood environment."

The award is given to developments in the 10 - county metro region that exemplify the policies and practices of ARC's Regional Development Plan. Developments are eligible for selection as a Development of Excellence if they advance the policies and best development practices of the Regional Development Plan. Past award winners include developments that show how great design can create a "positive framework for the future" today and showcase how our community is creating innovative and successful developments for the future in the Atlanta Region.
