On Wednesday, Flagpole reported that local developer, Clint Larkin, has proposed to build an 8,000 seat amphitheater off Commerce Road, north of the Loop.
The amphitheater would have a multiple tiers of seating, along with a stage, concessions, sky suites, an office, and lodging for performers.
Larkin, who is a former UGA football player, bought the lot where the amphitheater is being proposed, for $250,000 in July. However, the 49-acre piece of land is zoned as residential, meaning it would need to be rezoned to commercial.
The Athens-Clarke County Planning Commission will start reviewing the project next week.
If the building permits are approved, Larkin estimates construction of the amphitheater could take about a year.
