Downtown Redevelopment Watkinsville, Georgia
The downtown redevelopment of Watkinsville, Georgia was a project that took a whole semester to complete, culminating with a presentation to the city council. The new design for the city would have to take on a variety of challenges ranging from the addition of a new road, as well as serious storm water issues.
