The goal of the investment is to reduce the need to travel outside city limits to work, shop and dine, keeping people and their money within city limits.
The grants will back projects that construct wildlife crossing overpasses and underpasses, fencing and related structures to safely connect natural habitats across public highways.
The plan envisions making the development a global cultural destination, integrating a variety of restaurants, arts and cultural gathering spaces and hybrid work areas.
The grants will support projects in school districts across the state that are either building new preschool classrooms, expanding existing facilities or renovating older structures.
This financial support will help realize university-led projects designed to create a more vibrant, integrated and student-focused campus while continuing to contribute to the broader downtown Atlanta community.
