Warner Robins Prepares for Future Makeover
Monday, September 21st, 2015
The Warner Robins Redevelopment Agency is laying down the financial groundwork to redevelop the city’s gateway and create a “downtown feel” that’s expected to increase property values and draw more people to the area in coming years.
With dozens of blighted businesses and empty or overgrown lots, the current gateway to Warner Robins is “not as pleasing to the eye,” said Gary Lee, executive director of the agency. “What we’re trying to do is correct that. ... It’s not for us. It’s for the next generation that’s coming up behind us. We want to make it amenable and pleasing to the eye and be able to be an area that is going to be welcoming to outsiders.”
