Saturday, July 21, 2007 - Riverdale: Taking Bold New Steps

Riverdale: Taking Bold New Steps

On Wednesday evening, July 18th, the City of Riverdale, Georgia, held it's second in a series of meeting promoting a bond referendum which would allow the city to develop a new downtown area. Brande and I attended this meeting.

Riverdale grew up along railroad tracks which many years ago ran pretty much along the route of Georgia Highway 85. All that remains of what we assume to be its old downtown area are a couple of old buildings on the south side of Main Street. At least since my childhood, Riverdale has lacked a geographic area which its citizens could consider to be the heart of the city.

The meeting had an overflow crowd with some standing out in the hallway almost out of hearing distance and certainly out of seeing distance. The attitude of the crowd was surprisingly positive. We had expected some disagreement over even a modest proposal. For a proposal this size we would have expected some shouting and veggie tossing. It seems that almost everyone attending was wholeheartedly in support of the proposal.

The new Downtown Riverdale is to be located on a tract of land, over 60 acres in size, behind the Home Depot and fronting on Lamar Hutcheson Parkway. The proposed development is to include a $4,200,000 multi-story city hall building, an amphitheater, community building, retail and office uses, condominiums, townhomes and single family residential dwellings among other uses. Development is hoped to begin early next year. (Continued below image.)

We applaud the public officials of the City of Riverdale and their staff for being forward thinking and trying to come up with a way to make a real difference in the city.

Brande and I felt the presentation left out significant facts any reasonable person would want to know before voting on a bond issue of this magnitude. Of course, this is to be expected at any meeting solely intended to promote a specific point of view. No project of this size goes without opposition and investigation, so we feel certain the details will eventually come to light.

If this proposal has been diligently researched and sufficient market demand has been established by parties knowledgeable in such matters, and should the financial risk not be such that failure would result in an undue hardship being placed upon the citizens and business owners of Riverdale, we would wholeheartedly support the proposal. This development could be a great turning point in the history of Riverdale.

We must mention what impressed us far above and beyond everything else at the meeting was the citizens. We were in awe over the deep concern the citizens of Riverdale exhibited over the future of their city. That group of citizens in attendance certainly had honesty in purpose. They all want Riverdale to become a better place to live.

Even if this project proves to be unfeasible, it is well apparent that there is sufficient motivation in the citizenship to make great things happen in the City of Riverdale

The next meeting is at 7:00 PM on August 20, 2007, at City Hall. The special election is to be held on September 18, 2007.
