Building to be Razed for Private Parking Lot
The three story building that housed Cline Ice Cream Co. will be razed to create private parking space in Athens. Attorney John F. Newcomb said a contract will be signed to tear the building down. The project adds 25 to 30 spaces, bringing total nearby capacity to 40 to 50 cars. The garage wall will be rebuilt inside the county garage to cover an encroachment. Parking may be rented to the public and an attendant may be used. The site lies within a proposed district along S Congress Street from Hughes Lot to 36 S Congress.
