ATLANTA (AP) — Cox Enterprises is donating The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s former downtown headquarters to the city of Atlanta.
The company and Mayor Kasim Reed announced the donation Tuesday. The nearly 6-acre property, including the office building and the newspaper’s former printing press building behind it, is valued at about $50 million.
Reed calls it an ideal location to consolidate city office space. Atlanta’s mayor plans to put police and fire training academies in the building, use the auditorium for public meetings, create a gallery space and use the warehouse and parking space.
In April, the AJC moved offices to suburban Atlanta. Printing is already being done near the city.
Cox Enterprises called the building “a strategic site” for city planners.
