Last update: 11 minutes ago

Healthcare & Jobs: Atrium Health and Morehouse School of Medicine won approval to move forward on a new southwest Atlanta teaching hospital at 675 Metropolitan Pkwy SW, a $700M project aimed at replacing access lost after Atlanta Medical Center closures, with plans for a Level III trauma center, 24/7 emergency care, and growth from about 50 beds to 700+; officials tout major construction and permanent job creation. Local Governance: Private citizens filed a lawsuit to block Monticello’s controversial annexation tied to the Mine Lake area, alleging multiple legal and process violations and raising concerns about a potential mega-site for heavy industry/data center development. Energy Regulation: Republican PSC commissioner Tricia Pridemore announced she’ll resign Sept. 4, setting up Kemp’s appointment of a replacement ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Transit: Two college students set a Guinness record by visiting all 38 MARTA rail stations in 3 hours 21 minutes. Business & Retail Tech: California Pizza Kitchen plans to expand beyond restaurants with 1,000 automated kiosks nationwide over three years, including in airports and universities, with Atlanta already among kiosk-served locations. Music Industry: Quality Control co-founder Pierre “P” Thomas was hospitalized after a medical emergency; the label says he’s alive and receiving care. Construction Safety Policy: Georgia lawmakers plan to revive a worker heat protection bill after crews in the CSRA face triple-digit temperatures without state heat rules. Intermodal Logistics: Freight analysts say intermodal savings are surging on key lanes out of Atlanta, with mode shifts potentially boosting ROI for shippers. Fuel Prices: Diesel prices show mixed local lows and statewide averages around the mid-$5 range in the latest GasBuddy reporting.
