Please update us on environmental concerns like flooding. — a resident Question [Submitted via app] See the group response above — a dedicated technical review is underway and findings will be shared. How will the district and Watershed Management mitigate flooding? — a resident Question [Submitted via app] Stormwater review by the Department of Watershed Management is a required part of the process; Atlanta Track Club will coordinate with Atlanta Public Schools and Watershed on drainage and detention to meet or exceed all City Codes should the project move forward. Through its diligence, it will learn more about any downstream effects of this contemplated project before proceeding. Will you use the Connally vault to mitigate flooding? — a resident Question [Submitted via app] There is no vault under the property at this time. Stormwater review by the Department of Watershed Management is a required part of the process; Atlanta Track Club will coordinate with Atlanta Public Schools and Watershed on drainage and detention to meet or exceed all City Codes should the project move forward. Have you done a watershed review to develop a flooding-mitigation plan? The plan removes two green spaces that help absorb water. — a resident Question [Submitted via app] A watershed/stormwater review is part of the required engineering work; the relationship between green space, permeability, and drainage is exactly what that review and the green-space design will address together. Downstream impacts on other communities will be part of this review. One of the largest sewer lines in the city runs directly under the proposed site — how is this being accounted for? — a resident Question [Submitted via app] Atlanta Track Club is aware of storm and sewer water lines under the property. Subsurface infrastructure, including major sewer lines, is part of the geotechnical and engineering due diligence. Are you aware of the Georgia Avenue street bursting open? There are infrastructure issues in NPU-V. — a resident Question [Submitted via app] Existing neighborhood infrastructure conditions including stormwater impacts are part of the engineering review and will be evaluated. A facility this size needs large HVAC air handling — unless fully geothermal, how is that addressed? — a resident Question [Submitted via app] Mechanical systems and their siting are part of the building design; sustainability goals include evaluating efficient and low-impact systems. Location of HVAC units have not yet been determined but will not abut residences. Could the big flat roof be a good place for solar? Has that been considered? — a resident Question [Submitted via app] Rooftop uses — including solar and green roofs — are among the sustainability options the design team will evaluate. How the Deal Is Structured · Historical Land Use / Contamination · 18 votes as a priority topic Why was the Cheney site chosen? Why build indoor right next to the outdoor track? — raised aloud and via app Question [Asked aloud] Atlanta Track Club evaluated locations for ~8-10 years; early-2026 discussions with Atlanta Public Schools led to Cheney — for the APS partnership, Olympic legacy, in-community headquarters, MARTA and highway access, proximity to Grant Park and the Southside BeltLine, and support for Georgia Avenue businesses. Adjacency lets the Track Club keep investing in the outdoor track and anchor the Olympic legacy. Source: the meeting minutes
