56 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 8 “Land is selling pretty quickly here in Austell. We have a significant number of single- family home detachments going up. We have townhouses that are going up, we have some mixed-use developments that have already been approved and looking to move forward, and all around we are trying to connect with park space and green space.” Another ongoing project is the current home of the city offices, known as the Threadmill Complex. The historic complex was originally Coats and Clark Thread company, complete with self-contained amenities such as swimming pools and a recreation center, embodying a true mixed-use concept. “We’re in the process now of a proposal to work with developers to see how they can reimagine the Threadmill Complex and the surrounding property, to see how we can make this a destination location,” says Weaver. “We see that as being a next step in the evolution of the city of Austell, where you have a pocket of mixed- use right here at the Threadmill Complex.” www.westsidebank.net ♦ www.piedmont.bank Business banking to get you to the next level.
