Why Old National faces water damage risk
Built for Old National’s dense mix of aging commercial buildings and the residential blocks around them.
Old National Highway is one of the most densely populated commercial corridors within South Fulton, home to 500+ business establishments.
The City of South Fulton designates Old National as one of its two official "Main Street" districts, alongside Red Oak.
A federally-funded $3.8M resurfacing project completed in January 2023, plus a further $4.1M infrastructure project approved in October 2025, are underway along Old National Highway.
Aging infrastructure along an established, dense commercial corridor — older roofing systems and aging plumbing in multi-tenant buildings — combines with residential homes nearby carrying similar age-related plumbing and roofing exposure.
