From one Deanne to another (and gosh! what's this, the 3rd new one in 2 weeks?) -- You definitely might want to catch up on Patch's past coverage or even just ask around about GGD's idea of "coalition building and good growth" before getting your hopes up that it's anything positive. Lots of ugly noise and accusations; short on facts and accomplishments. But hey, they've sure had fun doing it.   more ›

POLL: Do You Want Development at Scott Boulevard Baptist Church?

Sembler Vet Behind New North Decatur Retail Center Project

Fuqua Development, created earlier this year by a former Sembler executive, wants to build Decatur Crossing, a new retail center at the intersection of Scott Boulevard and North Decatur Road.

A former Sembler executive and one of metro Atlanta's most prolific retail developers is behind the effort to buy Scott Boulevard Baptist Church and turn it into a 40,000-square foot retail center. Atlanta-based Fuqua Development, started earlier this year by former Sembler president Jeff Fuqua, wants to redevelop the church into Decatur Crossing, which will include a bank, restaurants and retail shops, according to a company flier about the project. That development does not yet include the residences adjacent to the church along Barton Way and Blackmon Drive that were contacted last week by Atlanta Land Group about selling their homes and land to redevelopers. The Fuqua Development flier shows a redevelopment area only where the church …

More neighborhood destruction proposed by Sembler when there are HUGE tracts of land already for sale where the Ford dealership formerly was located on Scott Blvd. Do they want that? Heck no - Sembler would rather ram this other stuff down our throats. Death to Sembler!   more ›
