The Woodruff Foundation will donate $10 million to the Georgia World Congress Center for its Centennial Olympic Park plan. The same foundation two decades ago helped lay the groundwork to transform the 21-acre park into a downtown jewel.

Sweeping changes are coming to the area with the construction of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the pending implosion of the Georgia Dome and plans for a high-end hotel on the western edge of the convention center complex.

The Woodruff Foundation is such an invaluable organization to this city. Every few months or so you hear about them contributing millions of dollars to a great cause. They also just donated $3 million to the Morehouse School of Medicine.

Great news! Can't wait to see the park grow and improve. Along with this whole area, over the coming years.
