In 2007, True North 400 launched a comprehensive, community-wide planning process for the district called “Blueprint North Fulton.” This plan aimed to address transportation, land use and economic development issues within True North 400, creating a cohesive vision to guide transportation and development initiatives throughout the commercial areas.
True North 400 coordinated closely with Alpharetta, Milton and Roswell, incorporating their existing land-use and transportation plans at the very earliest stages of the Blueprint process. The Blueprint North Fulton Master Plan was used as the starting point for True North 400 in identifying and completing priority projects.

In 2014, the North Fulton Community Improvement District (CID), now called True North 400, completed an update to the CID Master Plan for the district. Entitled “Blueprint North Fulton 2.0,” the master plan outlines priorities for the next decade of CID investments.

The Board of Directors and staff collected input from its members and partners to develop the plan. The team first compiled a needs assessment, considering changes in local and regional office markets, city transportation plans and partnership opportunities for the future. Then, the team reached out to area property owners and stakeholders to gather their input on new priorities for the district. On Dec. 2, 2013, the CID held a public meeting where they presented priority transportation projects and initiatives and gathered public feedback.
