Let's Put This Lie To Rest

Six Flags Moment of Truth

The Six Flags Community has been plagued with lies of the community being a poor community.

Most of our local politicians have had a hand in spreading this lie and I can't seem to figure out why????

Below is data from the Atlanta Regional Commission LCI study from 2012 comparing the area to the entire county.

These income amounts proves we're not a POOR community. The Six Flag area received no money from the Federal Opportunity Zone because our household income was too high.

So please help our community in putting this lie to rest.
