The Atlanta Braves have put together a team they say will make their proposed $400 million mixed-use complex surrounding the new Cobb County stadium a home run.
The success of the project is critical for the Braves and for Cobb County taxpayers.
The Braves’ aim is to create a profitable, 74-acre mix of retailers, restaurants, offices, hotels and residences around the ballpark, near Cumberland Mall. Team officials say it will draw guests not just to the team’s 81 regular season games, but throughout the year.
It was largely on the promise that the complex would create jobs and tax revenue that Cobb commissioners committed more than $300 million in public money to woo the Braves to the suburbs.
