    The City of Atlanta is currently considering a second round of TSPLOST funding for $300M as well as a second infrastructure bond of $400M to support necessary infrastructure investments. 

    At this point the list is simply in draft form, and given that the City of Atlanta has more than $3B in infrastructure funding needs over the next 20 years, that list may change before it's formally voted upon by City.  

    We need EAV supporters to participate in the City's upcoming community information meetings over the next 2 weeks to speak up about the need for projects in our neighborhood.  The meeting for the NE quadrant of the city will be Thursday, November 18 from noon to 1 pm and again from 6 to 7 pm.

    Please use this City of Atlanta Zoom link to call in during the meetings and show your support for Little 5 Points and our infrastructure needs. We will continue to keep you posted on the approval process as these lists move through the City. As of now, the TSPLOST and Infrastructure Bond papers will be submitted to appropriate Council committees the week of November 29, 2021.
