BRN Committees are Making Great Things Happen!

Thank you for considering donating your time in support of the accelerated construction of light rail on the BeltLine! The bulk of BRN’s work is performed in committees, where volunteers work collaboratively to advance the BRN vision. Committees convene on a roughly monthly basis, and with greater frequency as needed. Here are our current committees and their activities:
