&lt;p&gt;The financial institution has signed a major lease for &lt;strong&gt;165,000 square feet&lt;/strong&gt; spanning five full floors of the Class-A Midtown development. The move will relocate approximately &lt;strong&gt;400 team members&lt;/strong&gt;, including key senior and executive leadership, to Atlanta by the second half of 2027.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mayor Dickens rolls out a $5 billion neighborhood reinvestment plan, asking Atlanta to extend its tax-allocation districts to 2050</title><link>https://wacn21-news-1a92c2.pages.catalystgroup.tech/politics/dickens-5-billion-neighborhood-plan/</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:30:00 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://wacn21-news-1a92c2.pages.catalystgroup.tech/politics/dickens-5-billion-neighborhood-plan/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Mayor &lt;strong&gt;Andre Dickens&lt;/strong&gt; unveiled a &lt;strong&gt;$5 billion Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative&lt;/strong&gt; on Tuesday, a sweeping plan that would direct fresh city money into affordable housing, transit, and grocery and health-care access in seven historically underinvested Atlanta neighborhoods — but only if the city can extend the lifespan of its eight tax-allocation districts until 2050.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mayor announced the plan at a Tuesday-morning event and released a draft project list that the city&amp;rsquo;s economic-development team has been compiling since the spring. The plan still requires sign-off from the Atlanta City Council, &lt;strong&gt;Fulton County&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Atlanta Public Schools&lt;/strong&gt;, all of whom would need to forgo property-tax revenue they would otherwise collect for the next 25 years.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Centennial Yards opens The Mitchell, its first residential tower downtown, marking the start of a $5 billion reshaping of The Gulch</title><link>https://wacn21-news-1a92c2.pages.catalystgroup.tech/politics/centennial-yards-first-residential-tower-opens/</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Sep 2025 14:00:00 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://wacn21-news-1a92c2.pages.catalystgroup.tech/politics/centennial-yards-first-residential-tower-opens/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The first residential tower at &lt;strong&gt;Centennial Yards&lt;/strong&gt; has opened for tenants, more than a decade after the project&amp;rsquo;s origin as a parking-lot deal between the city and the Atlanta Falcons and years after the development nearly collapsed under its own weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The opening of &lt;strong&gt;The Mitchell&lt;/strong&gt; — a single 19-story tower designed by Atlanta firm Goode Van Slyke Architects — marks the most visible sign yet that the long-stalled &lt;strong&gt;$5 billion, 50-acre redevelopment&lt;/strong&gt; of The Gulch is finally moving.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
