Atlanta Mayor Pitches Plan For The Gulch In Tense Public Meeting

Atlanta’s mayor made her pitch for redeveloping the Gulch in downtown Atlanta on Wednesday night. But the tense public meeting left many unconvinced.

City staff worked hard to keep the information session tightly controlled. It was held in the old City Council chambers, a smaller space than the chambers council members use today.

People wearing green shirts that said “Green Light The Gulch” took up many of the seats. Once the room filled, new attendees were redirected to an overflow space.
