The Medlock Area Neighborhood Association reported yesterday that Commissioners Jeff Rader and Kathie Gannon recently met with neighborhood representatives to give a brief update on the Scott Boulevard Baptist Church location, which is being redeveloped by Fuqua Development.

Fuqua presented some “very preliminary” drawings at the meeting.  The MANA site summarized it as such…

•  As proposed, the development covers 5.5 acres.
• All ten homes on Barton Way are under contract.
• A natural food store would serve as anchor.
• The project is a mixed use development. In addition to retail, it would include 200 apartment units (5 stories high).

MANA states that they’re planning a larger community meeting about the development in July.  Jump over to the MANA site for more pics of the renderings and details.
