Sports Site Praises Atlanta’s Olympic Legacy
Sports website ThePostGame, part of the Yahoo network, posts Olympic Cities: Booms and Busts today — a look at the cities that benefited from hosting the games and those that didn’t. Atlanta gets classified as a “Boom” city from its post-game benefits and Centennial Olympic Park is held up as one of the main positive outcomes.
Atlanta has one of the strongest Olympic legacies…Centennial Olympic Park was built in what was a rough part of town and is now a centerpiece of downtown Atlanta’s revitalization, with several major high rises, museums and attractions built on its periphery and 20 percent of the tax generated going to poorer areas.
