The Reconnecting Sweet Auburn Project Project History
Funded by Invest Atlanta, Sweet Auburn Works, and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (ADID), the Reconnecting Sweet Auburn Project aims to repair the intentional harm caused in the 1960s when Interstates 75 and 85 (the I-75/85 “Downtown Connector”) tore through Sweet Auburn. The scars still show as the highway, now the nation’s second busiest, was the catalyst for a prolonged period of decline and disinvestment in one of the country’s most culturally and economically significant Black neighborhoods.
