Today, the Atlanta City Council will vote on the purchase of 46 acres for additional parkland in the South River Forest area. They are also expected to introduce legislation for $33.5M in taxpayer money to fund "Cop City".
These parcels only compensate for ~54% of the 85 continuous acres of trees cut down to build "Cop City", but most fall within Special Flood Hazard Areas identified by FEMA , which see a >1/4 chance of flooding in the next 30 years.
