Lawmakers Say ‘No’ to Public Funding of Proposed Stadium Project

A new Atlanta Falcons stadium is still a distant dream, but a group of lawmakers is already sending a loud message to developers.

They don’t want a single dollar of public funds to go to the project. 

If the proposed state budget for 2013 is approved in its current form, the World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta would get $15 million in bond money so it can purchase nearby vacant property.
