COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Cobb County says it will finance 45 percent of the new Atlanta Braves stadium.
County spokesman Robert Quigley confirmed with Channel 2 Action News Thursday morning that the Braves will foot 55 percent of the cost of the $672 million project.
The Braves announced Monday that the team will move to Cobb County in 2017, after their lease ends at Turner Field in downtown Atlanta. After a months-long public discussion about the construction of a new Falcons stadium, many in the region were shocked by the sudden announcement that the deal was mostly done.
The stadium is set to be built on undeveloped property in the northwest corner of the interstection of Insterstates 75 and 285.
