Atlanta tire-product grant request could support rubberized street paving

Atlanta has submitted projects for a state Tire Products grant application seeking up to $250,000. The supporting ordinance describes eligible work using scrap-tire-derived products, including rubberized materials for paving and improving city streets.

Ordinance 26-O-1561 would ratify the submission. Its supporting text says specific priority projects were submitted in September 2026, but the delivered passages do not identify individual streets. The measure concerns an application, not an award or completed paving; accepting any award would require subsequent City Council action.
