Cop City, officially known as the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, has become a focal point of debate and protest. This massive, militarized police training compound is under construction in the Weelaunee Forest on the southeastern outskirts of Atlanta. As the project unfolds, attention has shifted to the companies and foundations involved in its creation. The Funding Landscape

The Atlanta City Council approved funding for Cop City in June 2023, allocating a total budget of $90 million. While $30 million comes from the city’s budget, the remaining funds are expected to come from private donations channeled through the Atlanta Police Foundation (APF) — the nonprofit arm of the Atlanta Police Department (APD). https://medium.com/@chrisjeffrieshomelessromantic/coca-cola-is-the-biggest-funder-of-cop-city-the-90-million-police-center-the-public-voted-against-aea03bfc09b1
