Cobb County government will spend $300 million on a new Atlanta Braves stadium and mixed use development near the interstates 75 and 285, according to a summary of the financial agreement released Thursday morning.
All told, the development will cost $672 million, with the Braves covering the rest of the costs.

But a summary of details of the MOU show that the county will pay:
$276 million from the coliseum authority, which will issue 30-year revenue bonds to fund the county’s share.
$14 million from the county for transportation improvements.
$10 million from the Cumberland Community Improvement District.
quote:
Existing property taxes will account for $8.7 million of the county’s contribution. The release says there will be no increase in property tax millage rates for homeowners.
However, there are new taxes, including: a new 3-percent rental car tax; a new 3-mill property tax increase for businesses in a Cumberland Special Services District; a new $3 per night charge for hotel rooms in the special services district.

So when the braves said they were paying for the majority of the stadium, they meant BARELY.
55%
8.7 million dollars a year in existing property tax money going towards a fricking baseball stadium.
MLB swindles the frick out of another city.

i get trying to spice up your rendering with a bunch of greenspace, but come on... there's not going to be a forest behind right field... no one will be going to games if they have to walk a mile and half just to get there.
