Selected Redevelopment

Following conversations with leaders from the Dahlonega DDA, two additional properties outside of the downtown historic district were also included as part of the Dahlonega Downtown Renaissance Fellowship. Located within the DDA’s central business district, these locations were selected to envision how the economic vitality of the downtown area could be extended outward. By illustrating appropriate mixed-use infill development with options like upper-story housing and ground-floor retail, these designs provide a template for additional commercial and residential growth that would serve Dahlonega residents, tourists, and students and faculty of the University of North Georgia. The proposed designs for both of these lots focus on providing areas for growth immediately outside of the immediate historic downtown district to support Dahlonega’s economy and the long-term economic health of the area.
