The Center for Civic Innovation will run “civic labs” that bring together leaders and stakeholders across sectors, including government agencies, nonprofits, business, and academia. The civic labs will yield ideas on cutting costs or generating new revenue for public organizations and initiatives, increasing participation in city decision making, and promoting policies that open up the innovation economy in Atlanta. The Center’s first pilot civic lab will be in partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) around the issue of “food access.” In addition to the civic labs, the Center will host co-working and office space for social enterprises. The Center will support them with resources to grow and succeed. There is also a 3,500 square foot event space for events and workshops.
