No, they heard a rumor that a Target was going up on that parcel and decided it was fine because it wasn’t Wal-Mart.

Please excuse pre-caffination typos. And I obviously meant College. No more comments in the a.m. until I get that much needed 2nd cup.

I found this via Yahoo! search. I have no idea if it answers the question, though.

Perhaps the property would have been a good location for a charter school.

The congregation of Scott Baptist is, for the most part, extremely elderly. Some of the congregants no longer live in this area. Upkeep on those large buildings must be expensive and for a dwindling congregation, too expensive to maintain.

The USSC ruled that under the US Constituion, government entities could transfer land from one private owner to another, and that increased tax revenue satisfied the “public good” requirement. But, that ruling didn’t prevent states from amending thier own constituions to prevent such a transfer. There was a push by some states, including GA, to amend their constitutions after the ruling, but I don’t know if the GA Constitution has been amended. Anyone know the status?

Agreed. Of all of the buildings along that stretch of Scott, the church was the last one I thought needed to be torn down or renovated.
