Television Park was recommended for demolition the week before by the Historic Preservation Commission.
While having the economic development organizations in one building makes a certain amount of sense, and locating the CVB beside the TEE Center is certainly convenient for the CVB, you’ve still got to wonder about the logic behind building a new home for organizations that already have homes.
Isn’t the Whites Building stronger with the DDA inside? What about Enterprise Mill? Isn’t there a certain poetry in having Augusta Tomorrow in such a glorious example of Augusta’s yesterday?
And when it comes to that, what about those surplus properties the city’s trying to unload? If all those organizations absolutely have to be together under one roof, why not an existing roof, even if it might be a couple blocks out of the sweet spot?
Sure, old isn’t as much fun as brand spanking new, but sometimes it can be just as good.
Just ask Historic Augusta.
Of course they probably would have told you to keep Television Park in the first place.You Might Also Like:
