ATLANTA (AP) - An Atlanta church congregation has voted to accept the city's $14.5 million offer to relocate so the Atlanta Falcons can build a new stadium.

Members of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church voted overwhelmingly Thursday in favor of accepting the offer for their land south of the Georgia Dome.

The church is 1 of 2 that needs to be relocated if the franchise is to build its $1 billion, retractable roof stadium at its preferred site.

Mayor Kasim Reed publicly announced the preliminary agreement last week. The plan calls for the Georgia World Congress Center Authority to pay $6.2 million, and the Falcons to pay $8.3 million.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/16cwyNI ) a second church in the proposed path, Friendship Baptist, plans to vote on whether to sell their property on Sunday.
