Renaissance on the River Project Could Resume
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014
A local legislator is looking for answers about an economic development project he says could have changed the lives of residents living in his district.
State Sen. David Lucas (D) 26th District, says he wants to know why nearly 12 acres, in his district were deemed contaminated. He says those acres could help to create a viable community.
"I've been trying to deal with the department of natural resources trying to find out the real problem with the contaminated property on Riverside Drive, where the Renaissance Project was suppose to take place," said Lucas.
Renaissance on the River was scheduled to start construction in 2013. Lucas says it would have changed not only the landscape of Macon, but also change lives by supplying jobs in the professional, business and service industries. The project included offices, retail stores, restaurants and housing.
