Overall: 
- Article is new, long enough, and plagiarism-free. The hook is cited and interesting. No issues with the use image. el.ziade (talkallam) 21:19, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Please address the following:
- Can you please quote verbatim where in the source is mentioned that " the project will increase police brutality in the city"? I have reviewed the cited source and the above sounds more like a conjecture.
- Consider replacing "The Atlanta Police Foundation (APF) and others who ..." with "proponents". The cited source does not specifically mention the APF, rather "The other thirty per cent" el.ziade (talkallam) 11:12, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- "Two environmental organizations, the South River Forest Coalition and the South River Watershed Alliance, have filed a lawsuit against the film studio development." I can't find this passage in the cited source. The New York Times article does however corroborate this passage.
- The article definitely leans towards a certain POV. Opposing POVs (residents pro Cop City) is represented. I believe the article represents the events faithfully, and the sources are generally accurately cited (exceptions above).
- I invite the nominator to disclose any COI.
- I also invite other reviewers who are informed about the events to take a look and verify if the article can be more balanced. el.ziade (talkallam) 21:19, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
In response to review of user @Elias Ziade:
- I changed the wording of this sentence to more accurately reflect the language used by opponents of the facility in the citation source, the source
- I replaced "The Atlanta Police Foundation (APF) and others who ..." with "proponents," as suggested.
- I shifted citation from cited source to the New Yorker article, as suggested.
- I think the article weights POVs similar to how they are weighted in most of the the sources. I feel I have respected Wikipedia's due weight policy, giving attention to the opposing sides of the issue in proportion to their popularity in the city, as reflected by 70% of public comment opposing to the facility in city council, see the source
- I have no conflict of interest to disclose.
- I invite @Gobonobo:, who seems to also have familiarity with these events based on their Dec 16 edits of the article, to offer their review for the purposes of the DYK nomination.
