Centennial Yards street-design proposal seeks acceptance of $2 million federal grant

An Atlanta proposal would accept up to $2 million through the federal Reconnecting Communities Pilot program for environmental engineering and design of the Centennial Yards Complete Streets project. Ordinance 26-O-1559 would add the funding to the fiscal 2027 grant budget.

The measure also proposes an agreement with Centennial Yards Company for program-management assistance and provision of the required 20% local match, capped at $500,000. Draft action minutes record a 12–0 referral Oct. 5 and list Transportation Committee consideration Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. The referral does not authorize grant acceptance, execute the company agreement or fund street construction.
