Public Service Announcement: World Cup Business Resources

In preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Office of the Mayor and Invest Atlanta have officially opened applications for the "Showcase Atlanta" small business support program. This initiative provides low-interest loans and grants designed to help local entrepreneurs in underserved communities upgrade their facilities and expand their service capacity ahead of the global tournament this summer.

Additionally, the Youth Entrepreneurship Accelerator is now accepting applications from residents aged 21 and under. This program offers tailored training on obtaining vendor licenses and forming legal business entities to participate in high-visibility marketplaces during city-sanctioned World Cup events.

Community Engagement and Parks

The Department of Parks and Recreation, in partnership with Park Pride, has officially launched the "Love Your Park 2026" initiative. The city is seeking 1,000 volunteers to assist with maintenance and beautification projects across Atlanta's 400+ parks. Official registration is active today for residents looking to participate in upcoming spring service days.

Transportation and MARTA Alerts

MARTA has issued a notice regarding the NextGen Bus Network overhaul scheduled for implementation later this spring. Riders may notice temporary signage appearing at over 6,000 stops this week. These signs are intended to alert commuters of upcoming route changes and frequency increases. Furthermore, rehabilitation work continues at the Five Points Station; while platforms remain open, commuters should allow for extra time due to ongoing ceiling and lighting upgrades aimed at improving station safety before the summer peak season.
