Capital Campaign: The BeltLine Partnership's $60 million capital campaign will raise critical early funds that will be used to acquire land for new parks and to develop trails.

Federal Funding: As the BeltLine gains momentum, federal funds will be available to aid in the development of trails and transit, along with other elements of the project.

City of Atlanta Funding:  In addition to its participation in the Tax Allocation District, the City of Atlanta has invested approximately $165 million in the BeltLine to date through Park Opportunity Bonds and Department of Watershed Management and City of Atlanta Capital Improvement Program funds.
