Future plans revealed for former Atlanta Medical Center

New details are emerging about the transformation of the former Atlanta Medical Center, a facility that served underserved communities for more than 100 years before closing in 2022. Officials say the site will become a multi-use development, including a pharmacy, grocery store, and other community-focused resources. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, with 2026 set as a major planning milestone. Leaders say the redevelopment carries deep meaning, as the hospital was closely tied to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and generations of Atlanta families.
