Athens Council Tackles Urban Renewal and Parking Disputes
Athens residents protested Urban Renewal problems and a stalled zoning variance at Food Giant parking lot E State Street. Nine owners, via attorney Roger Jones Jr, urged council to rectify alleged injustices and prevent future losses, citing low appraisals and potential condemnations. Citizens pressed for street widening on Marietta Ave to ease traffic, with debate over who pays.
