Braves Ask Taxpayers for Extra $4.6M in Costs Associated with SunTrust Park

The Atlanta Braves want more money from the taxpayers of Cobb County.

Faith Abubey and Lindsey Basye of 11Alive in Atlanta reported the Braves asked for $4.6 million in addition to what they already received. They noted Cobb County has paid almost $400 million for SunTrust Park, and community leaders voted in 2017 to contribute an additional $14 million for transportation and infrastructure.

The $4.6 million would be used to balance the transportation improvement fund, refund the building permit fee, refund some of the project management costs and cover legal fees.
