Residents who live near Turner Field recently met with officials from Georgia State University and real estate firm Carter to mostly voice their displeasure with proposed plans for the site once the Braves leave in 2017. According to the AJC, many residents asked that the college and developer hold off until a master planning exercise under the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) can be completed. The ARC in February announced a $212,000 grant to fund a study of redevelopment possibilities of the 80-acre site. Georgia State and Carter have proposed a mixed-use development of student apartments, single-family homes, senior housing, retailers and separate football and baseball stadiums for the site.
