Buena Vista Resident Concerned over Large Scale Developments in In-Town Neighborhoods

At Tuesday's meeting of the Athens Clarke County Commission, Buena Vista Heights resident Melissa Link spoke to the commissioners about her neighborhood. Last month, the commission designated as a historic district part of the neighborhood, which lies off Prince Avenue near the new UGA Health Sciences Campus. The commissioners approved a district that was half the size of one recommended by the Historic Preservation Commission. Link noted that a small house on Park Avenue was on the market for one day before an investor bought it, presumably to construct a larger building on the lot.
