Decatur Looking At Building New Park with Lake in East Decatur Station
Decatur Metro | May 7, 2015 | 9:49 amYou may recall the reference to “greenspace” in our recent wrapup of all the happenings planned for East Decatur Station in the coming years. Well, the AJC has dug up a few more details about that blob of greenish yellow between Talley Street and South Columbia on the map above.
According to the paper, the city is in conversations with AT&T to acquire the site, which according to the City’s Lyn Menne is mostly wetlands and ” build a regional retention center, and….turn the land into a park with a lake, similar to what they have at Atlantic Station.”
That would be quite a transformation from the “employee hub and vehicle storage site” that currently occupies the site.
Here’s a photo of the lake at Atlantic Station for your reference…
