On Nov 6th, Avondale Estates residents will go to the polls to vote on the town’s redevelopment plan. While some residents are wary about the inflitration of big box stores (Publix is slated to be an anchor store in the plan) it seems like a majority of residents would like to see the Tutor style downtown reborn. Both mayoral candidates support the plan.

Renderings of the plan seem relatively well thought out and sympathetic to the downtown’s existing unique style. The current landmark buildings will be retained and have been worked into the new plan.

East College Ave seems to be the latest candidate for intense redevelopment with the Avondale plan, the Avondale MARTA Station parking lot plan and even the Waffle House museum. Some day soon we may drive over Sam’s Crossing and look upon an entirely new landscape. At the very least, we’ll have the option of a second Publix within a couple miles of downtown!
