The Athens-Clarke County Economic Development Department and the West Broad / Hawthorne Area Tax Allocation District Advisory Committee will host three open house sessions and an online survey during January and February.
Officials said this will allow residents to provide input on items they want to see constructed within the TAD boundaries.
On Nov. 10, 2020, the mayor and commission adopted redevelopment plans to establish six tax allocation districts across Athens-Clarke County.
The West Broad / Hawthorne Area TAD covers 172.2 acres and includes 92 property parcels. Its boundaries center around West Broad Street between Hawthorne Avenue and the split with Epps Bridge Parkway.
Located west of Downtown Athens, it borders residential neighborhoods to the south, Epps Bridge Parkway to the west, residential neighborhoods to the north, and Hawthorne Avenue to the east.
The open house sessions will take place on the following dates and times:
- Saturday, January 25 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Athens Farmers Market at Bishop Park (705 Sunset Drive)
- Tuesday, February 4 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Runway Cowork in the Beechwood Shopping Center (196 Alps Road, Suite 70)
- Thursday, February 6 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at Howard Park Meeting Room A (291 Henderson Extension)
Residents can drop in anytime during the sessions to learn more about the TAD process and provide input on ideas for community improvements. Light refreshments will be provided.
