In Your Neighborhood

They quickly responded and the work was completed within weeks. Thomasville Landmarks' Operation C.A.R.E.

One of the biggest barriers to neighborhood revitalization and new housing development in the communities we serve is the large number of vacant and blighted properties. Across our target neighborhoods, there are an estimated 400 vacant or blighted lots that represent opportunities for new home construction, rehabilitation, and wealth creation. For many families across Georgia, land is more than property, it is a legacy. Yet thousands of acres of family-owned land are at risk

The June 1 groundbreaking for the Douglass School Senior Apartments was more than the start of a construction project—it was a celebration of the partnerships, perseverance, and preservation of the Douglass High School legacy. Incoming Board Chair Shan Daniels reminded the audience that getting to this point took overcoming major obstacles, from federal funding cuts to lawsuits. “But that’s the hard work of community development,” Daniels said. The $23 million redevelopment w

Collard Greens Are More Than a Side Dish — They’re a Story. Collard greens have been on our tables for generations — but their roots run much deeper. During slavery, collards were one of the only foods enslaved Africans were allowed to plant and eat. From hardship, they created nourishment, culture and community.
