Title: ATP Tour Wants Walkable Community
Post by: jaxlongtimer on June 25, 2024, 06:12:47 PM
Maybe Downtown interests and DIA needs to take a tour of our Beaches to learn how to create a vibrant area that attracts businesses and more:
QuoteATP Tour moving global headquarters from Ponte Vedra Beach to Atlantic Beach
The governing body of men's professional tennis is downsizing its space needs and moving closer to the ocean.
[/i]

The Petra news release said ATP "seeks to be in a walkable, community-centered environment for their employees, members, and affiliates."

As someone who is just starting to explore playing Tennis, this is an interesting article. Anytime something moves from Crotchety, uppity Ponte Vedra to a less exclusive, more integrated community is a win in my book. Lot of good things happening in Atlantic beach.
