The first meeting of the Turner Field Redevelopment Task Force will be held Wednesday, July 23, at 6:30 p.m. in the Old Council Chamber at Atlanta City Hall, 68 Mitchell Street. The meeting will be open to the public.
Councilwoman Carla Smith, whose district includes Turner Field, sponsored legislation last year creating the task force to provide recommendations for residential, commercial, and transportation options for the 60-acre site after the Atlanta Braves leave in 2017.
The task force is chaired by Smith and includes representatives from the City of Atlanta; Fulton County; the Atlanta Braves; and the neighborhood presidents of Summerhill, Mechanicsville, and Peoplestown.
“I am looking forward to getting started,” said Smith. “We will work diligently to offer recommendations that will produce a favorable outcome for the surrounding neighborhoods.”
