Falcons getting new stadium

[jonathanlambert33]

The Atlanta Falcons committed another $65 million toward a proposed downtown stadium as the team and the city unveiled agreement on several key issues Thursday, moving the project closer to a final deal.

The bulk of the money, $50 million, would go toward road, sidewalk, utility and other infrastructure work required for the new stadium, according to a “key city terms” deal announced by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and Falcons owner Arthur Blank.

The Arthur Blank Family Foundation would invest $15 million in projects aimed at boosting English Avenue, Vine City, Castleberry Hill and other neighborhoods close to the stadium.
