An Open House regarding the proposed redevelopment of downtown Loganville will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 16, 2019, at the Rock Gym located at 135 Main Street in Loganville. Officials said there will be rendings and story boards on display as well as officials on hand to answer questions.
Last week, the City of Loganville announced a partnership with the investment and development firm CONNOLLY to take the initial steps in the proposed $180 million revitalization project. There has been a strong response on social media to the announcement with many expressing concerns over the number of apartments and townhouses included in the proposal. Potential traffic problems and school overcrowding were some of the issues raised. On the other hand, there were those who had a more positive view of the proposal, citing ongoing complaints about the city lacking restuarants, entertainment and retail facilities.
“This redevelopment project marks an important transformation for the city, bringing an infusion of energy into our downtown,” Loganville Mayor Rey Martinez said in the press release. “With a long-held vision of returning to a time when Main Street was at the heart of our city, we are proud to offer our citizens and visitors alike a project that will create an inviting center of activity for all to enjoy.”
However, he has confirmed that this is just conceptual and is in no way a done deal at this time. People are encouraged to attend the open house to find out more about the proposals and to voice concerns they may have.
