Atlanta officials and the Atlanta Falcons reached a deal to build a new $1 billion stadium that addresses most of the concerns raised by the Atlanta City Council and the surrounding communities.
The tentative agreement was announced at a press conference Thursday afternoon at Atlanta City Hall.
The agreement would include $50 million investments in infrastructure improvements around the new stadium as part of the actual costs of constructing the project.
In a separate development, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation and Invest Atlanta have each committed to provide $15 million, for a total of $30 million, towards the redevelopment of the English Avenue, Vine City and Castleberry Hill neighborhoods.
