On September 19, a Weingarten Realty rep participated in a public Avondale Commissioners work session to discuss their plans for about 4 acres of downtown Avondale that they have under contract from Flagstar Bank. They intend/hope to collaborate with other developers who are interested in redeveloping the former Mill property (near Savage Pizza).

You can listen to the discussion here by scrolling down to the 9-19-2012 audio. :http://avondaleestates.org/agendas.html

Any word on who holds that property and any plans for it?

If not you still have time to do so. Go to no2Decatur.com and download a petition and email it to Peggy Merris or hand deliver before 5pm today. We’re hoping it doesn’t come to a vote and they see that there is more opposition against (especially the senior population).
Like you I “voted” against Decatur when I moved here 8 years ago.

If so, the business would be grandfathered in, because you can’t put somebody out of business if their business was legal prior.

I believe our city charter forbids the sale of that type of alcohol. Beer and wine are o.k. because of a referendum in the 1970s ( not really sure about that) but not alcohol.
