Tomorrowworld 2014 Beneficial For South Fulton County Economy? Neighboring Areas Complain Of Too Loud Music and Traffic

Tomorrowworld 2014 has officially kicked off at South Fulton County. Apart from the enjoyment of good music, this particular music festival is also very beneficial for the county's economy, as it bought in over $85 million in 2013.

This year, though, Tomorrowworld 2014 has promised to be a much bigger event. This highly anticipated electronic music festival started on Friday. Sadly, however, not all of those who attended were happy with this year's Tomorrowworld 2014.

Jeff Seymour, a long-time resident of Holly Springs, said, "It does bring in a tremendous amount of money into Georgia as well as the surrounding community, so you have to weigh the balance." In fact, some of the residents who live in Douglas County, which is about five miles away from the festival's venue, have mentioned that the balance was still a bit off.

Tomorrowworld 2014 is held on 500 acres of farmland in Chattahoochie Hills. Tom Staeball, a Holly Springs resident, stated, "Unfortunately, we're in Douglas County. That's happening in Fulton County, so I don't think we have much say-so over here."

Elijah Lucas, another resident of Douglas County, stated, "It is a helpless feeling because if I was to play my music loud here, the police would be out here. My neighbors would be complaining and I would have to turn it down."

Another issue with Tomorrowworld 2014 was the huge traffic that it caused. Staeball commented, "It probably caused an extra 15 minute to get to work."

The officials of the event, however, have now promised that they already have a mobility plan underway and that they have already utilized bigger signs. Also, they say that they will be providing information about any possible bottleneck situations. And, fortunately for the complainants, Tomorrowworld organizers have also stated that they will now take some steps to monitor the sound and find ways to lessen its impact. Still, they did not fail to mention that they music they were playing were actually consistently well below the sound levels that were mandated by the law.
