They have plans on their website to turn it into studio space, living space, and venues for local artists.

It took more than a year for Governors Court to sell out.<BR/><BR/>I think the biggest problem Vick Commons has is Fisher Ave. The fact that it's a 4-lane one-way that people really zoom on makes it very pedestrian unfriendly. That configuration pretty much wrecks the Vick Commons' relationship to the street.<BR/><BR/>If GDOT could be persuaded to restore Fisher to 2-way traffic -- and build a sidewalk on the other side of the street -- the Vick residents would have a MUCH nicer place to live.David Whartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251439852685796681noreply@blogger.com
