AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) –Some city leaders are calling it monumental and breathtaking, but they are keeping it quiet. The plan is to tie downtown Augusta into Project Jackson across the river.
It’s a piece of land that sits empty right now, and it’s prime real estate right next to the Augusta Riverwalk and the marina. It’s getting a lot of attention. It’s not clear what may happen, but it’s no secret something big is in the works at the Old Depot Property.
“I think you’re going to see downtown Augusta thrive like it has never thrived before,” Frantom said.
Frantom says the depot deal will be a game changer, but he isn’t commenting on what exactly it’s going to be, and neither will other city leaders, but we do know it would include a parking garage.
The development agreement is expected to be signed next week. Frantom thinks it’s an important project for the whole area.
“I don’t care if you are in Columbia County, North Augusta, Aiken, downtown Augusta is life and those communities wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Augusta,” Frantom said.
Darby Carpenter, the general manager of Farmhaus grew up downtown and says we are in the middle of a downtown revival.
“I think there is an unlimited potential in downtown Augusta,” Carpenter said.
Carpenter thinks it’s a no brainer to bring big projects downtown. he says Farmhaus is ready.
“For us it’s looking to see whose coming, looking to see what’s next, looking to see what other businesses are going to open up,” Carpenter said.
As the city works on bringing action to this empty piece of land, city leaders are already talking about upgrading the marina right behind it, maybe even bringing in a ferry to take people back and forth to Project Jackson.
