The Athens-Clarke Mayor and Commission will soon vote on a massive redevelopment project at the Georgia Square Mall. That plan would transform an area the size of downtown Athens. Houle says developers gave serious consideration to public input from Clarke County residents.

Commissioners will hold a final vote on the development at their February 21st meeting.
