Kirkwood rail yard, redux
August 2, 2007 at 4:30 pm by Scott Henry in NewsThe AJC, in today’s CityLife section, reprised a story CL did last month about Georgia Power’s plans to put an electrical substation in the old Pullman Yard on the edge of Kirkwood.
The AJC story says Georgia Power originally wanted to use four acres of the 28-acre site, which would have meant tearing down several of the historic buildings. But, since the land is owned by the state of Georgia, which, as CL noted, planned to sell the property, the utility could not simply condemn it and instead had to scale down its plans.
]If the land is eventually sold to a thoughtful developer who preserves the old warehouses, is it too much to hope that everybody will be happy with the outcome?
