A Trust for Public Land donor has offered a $20,000 matching gift for Rodney Cook Sr. Park, opening the floodgates for the next few days of fundraising.
Every dollar donated will be matched by the contributor, ending at the end of this month. The park will be located in Historic Vine City, near Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Astra Group Inc. has been tapped by the Trust, the city of Atlanta and the Department of Watershed Management to manage construction on the $45 million project. Astra poured the final concrete for the Westside Trail of the Atlanta BeltLine earlier this month.
