co-chair: Mr. Todd Glover
co-chair: Mr. Brett Brannon

There are major projects and initiatives designed for North Augusta. One of the major initiatives proposed in the Master Plan is the Market Creation Project called the North Augusta Town Center. This Market Creation Project proposes that the Municipal Center at the foot of Georgia Avenue forms a visual southern gateway to historic Georgia Avenue and the downtown commercial area. A new Town Center is proposed by extending the public open-space fronting the Municipal Center northward to create a new public common around which development can occur.

Some of the other proposed projects for North Augusta as outlined in the master plan include:

  • Continuation of North Augusta 2000 Initiative

  • Hotel on the Bluff

  • Hammond's Ferry continued development

  • Ravine Parks

  • Neighborhood infill development


    • In addition, the I-520 Gateway and East Buena Vista Avenue corridor create major opportunities for attractive roadway developments and neighborhood revitalization. Some of the key projects and initiatives in the I-520 Gateway and East Buena Vista Avenue corridor include:

    • US 1/East Martintown Road Intersection Improvements & corridor development guidelines

    • East Buena Vista Avenue Improvmenets

    • Schultz's Overlook - a public park atop the bluff
    • Redevelopment of various neighborhoods
