Mayor Andre Dickens is offering to sell the city jail to the county for around $68 million, but he also wants $200 million for a new hospital on Atlanta's Southside.
The settlement is for far less than the city has argued MARTA owed — $70 million. But it’s a lot more than the $865,000 that MARTA officials and its auditor argued was due.
Mayor Andre Dickens accepted the commission’s latest offer Tuesday, even though it doesn’t include funding for a future hospital on Atlanta’s Southside.
