Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation

We want to thank Mike Koblentz, Chairman of the Northwest Community Alliance for organizing a forum on Wednesday March 20th to discuss the new Falcons stadium project (the fourth meeting the group has had in the past 2 years on this topic). Koblentz was able to give a warm welcome to all attendees as a well as a very honest synopsis of the fast-tracked City Council vote. The forum allowed Penelope McPhee and John Bare, President and Vice President of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation to share a bit about the Foundation’s background and role in the new stadium and the community members to ask questions. The first to ask were representatives from the communities in closest physical proximity to the possible sites: Vincent Jones, President of English Avenue Neighborhood Association; Yvonne Jones chair of NPU-L; Suzanne Bair, President of Marietta St Artery Association; Jim of Castleberry Hill;
