  <body><![CDATA[<p>Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed predicts another run at a regional transit effort sometime next year, saying leaders shouldn’t be discouraged by the 2012 failed T-SPLOST referendum.&nbsp;Reed said Atlanta is thriving with an influx of millennials and baby boomers, adding that businesses are following the migration into the heart of the city.&nbsp;He anticipates this growth will lead to what he called mega-regions. He says,&nbsp;“When we look at the country, we’ll be looking at which regions dominate, and how those regions perform, and that’s going to be driven by cities."</p>]]></body>
