The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the planned facility slated for construction in Downtown, will receive $24 million in financing for the first phase of construction via a package put together by PNC Bank and Invest Atlanta.
This phase of the project is expected to create 700 direct construction jobs over the next two years and another 500 jobs as additional project phases come online.
The center will be built on Pemberton Place, just off Centennial Olympic Park
