Georgia Democratic U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock and U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams on Tuesday announced an over $150 million grant for the Stitch, a civic infrastructure investment connecting downtown and Midtown.
The goal of the Stitch is to revitalize north Downtown by increasing access to affordable housing, low-cost transportation, jobs and community resources, according to the project’s website.
The $157 million investment will fund the first phase of the project, which will create 5 acres of greenspace over the Downtown Connector (or I-75/I-85), enhance connectivity to the Civic Center MARTA station and improve seven surrounding streets. The total size of the greenspace is expected to be 14 acres once all phases of the Stitch are complete.
