A local college is honoring the life and legacy of Atlanta Braves legend Hank Aaron.

Atlanta Technical College has named its newly renovated Small Business Development Center after Aaron.

The college said the center “aims to provide budding entrepreneurs with the resources and tools needed to start and grow successful businesses in the Atlanta community.”
