Athens Housing Redevelopment, Inc.
West Broad Initiative
Athens, GA
The West Broad Initiative partnership is a collaboration between four partner agencies: Clarke County School District (CCSD), Athens Housing Authority (AHA), Athens-Clarke County Unified Government (ACCUG), and Athens Land Trust (ALT).
The partnership was created to study the feasibility of potential community and facility enhancements for the neighborhoods along West Broad Street west of Downtown Athens and The University of Georgia. During the process, Lord Aeck Sargent performed a thorough analysis of the existing housing, infrastructure and institutional assets, and provided high-level neighborhood improvement/development scenarios for future long-term revitalization considerations.
