On Tuesday, the Newnan City Council will hear ideas for the future of the Caldwell Tanks property from three design firms.
Stevens & Wilkinson, K. A. Oldham Design Inc. and Nelson Worldwide will speak to the council regarding their vision for the property, which is currently
The 6.68-acre property on East Broad Street is currently undergoing a 120-day inspection after the city of Newnan signed a contract in September to buy the property from its current owner, Broad Street Forum.
Newnan City Manager Cleatus Phillips said the city is eager to hear the proposed ideas.
"We’re excited about the opportunity to hear proposals from three firms regarding their experience and approach to developing a masterplan for this site,” Phillips said. "Each firm will bring their unique perspective to how they would approach the planning efforts, involve stakeholders and prepare a plan that is deserving of our community."
In August 2019, the Newnan City Council rejected a development proposal to build a three-story, 285-unit apartment complex and parking deck on the site after widespread public opposition from downtown residents and merchants.
Mayor Keith Brady said buying the property gives the city a better opportunity to shape the landscape and future of Newnan’s historic downtown and residential neighborhoods.
“We believe that this course of action reflects many of the comments from our citizens during the previous rezoning request,” he said in the release.
Brady also acknowledged the historical significance of the property.
“Starting with R.D. Cole Manufacturing Company and, most recently, Caldwell Tanks, many generations of our citizens have depended upon these businesses to provide a livelihood for their families while developing friendships that span decades and helped shape the course of Newnan’s history,” he said. “We understand the need for planning the future use of this property so that it will pay tribute to its heritage.”
The Newnan City Council meets at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
