It's a big day for the Center for Civil and Human Rights.

The board of directors of the Atlanta Development Authority (ADA), the city’s economic development agency, approved the recommendation for funding for six public purpose projects within downtown Atlanta’s Westside tax allocation district (TAD) today at its monthly meeting. The most significant public purpose project is the Center for Civil & Human Rights, which may receive funding of up to $40 million, or about 32 percent of its $125 million project budget.

Clearly- a big day for us.  This recommendation requires Atlanta City Council approval which will be discussed over the next few weeks.  Here is a short video describing what these funds will mean for the project.
