$4M Grant to Help BeltLine, Ponce City Market Area - East Atlanta, GA Patch

The Atlanta Regional Commission awarded Atlanta BeltLine Inc. a $4 million grant that will be used to improve the Ponce de Leon Ave. streetscape around Ponce City Market and construct bicycle and pedestrian links to the Atlanta BeltLine.

"This is a major victory for Ponce City Market, the BeltLine, and the vibrant neighborhoods that surround the old Sears Building," Matt Bronfman, managing director of Jamestown Properties, the developer of Ponce City Market, said in a statement. "We are grateful for Mayor Kasim Reed’s support of the application as well as Brian Leary, president of Atlanta BeltLine and the BeltLine staff."

In July, Jamestown announced it purchased the old City Hall East building at Ponce and Glen Iris Drive from the city for $27 million. It plans a $180 million renovation for the massive site, which serves as the signature building for the Old Fourth Ward.

And it's just not a pipe dream either. It's actually under renovation as we speak and will be ready in 2 years.

Great news to hear that one of the largest buildings in the southeast is in the right direction.

Looks awesome. But I'll believe it when I see it. I really hope they can pull it off.
