Winder city officials are considering a move that once ignited a major City Hall controversy. But this time, the funding for the alleviation of a longstanding eyesore would not come from a multi-million-dollar federal loan to be paid back over the next 40 years. The new administration would pay cash. The goal now is similar to what it was in 2010, and that is to relocate the city’s public works and utility departments from their 5-acre site off West May Street to a portion of the 350 undeveloped acres the city owns off Miles Patrick Road.
For the full story, see the Jan. 23 issue of the Barrow Journal.

I'm suprised that regular commenter"teacher" hasn't said something about this involving the city trucks on Beulah Street. He mentions it on every other article on Barrow Journal. This must be a thrill for "teacher" now maybe we can have some peace. Anyway, the city works lot and the Ouzts Chevrolet lot and the lots around them would be great for new decent restaurant and retail development. Glad to see the city cleaning up their lot to sell to new commercial business.

Before visitors can get to downtown Winder, they have to first pass the array of boarded up houses and almost condemned residences across from Fort Yargo State Park. Those make one want to turn around and head back to 316.

That is so true OP, and if they happen upon King St, it's more of the same.
