Atlanta Airport's DEI Standoff: Funding vs. Values
Update: 2025-09-26
Description
Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport chose principle over funding, rejecting $37.5 million in federal money rather than disavow its DEI programs. Bucking the Trump-era mandate, the city risks future funding for vital maintenance projects like taxiway repaving and restroom renovations. With other cities fighting similar mandates in court, Atlanta is now scrambling to find alternative funding sources to maintain its nearly billion-dollar construction boom while staying true to its commitment to minority-owned businesses.
