The city was laid out in 1736 in a gridiron plan with the major streets set parallel to the river. Broad Street between 5th and 13th streets is the historic commercial corridor with rows of continuous commercial blocks and a landscaped median. Historic buildings on Broad Street date from the 1820s to the 1960s and include examples of Federal, Greek Revival, Second Empire, High Victorian Gothic, Romanesque Revival, Beaux-Arts, Art Deco, Art Moderne, and International Style architecture. Greene Street is a tree-lined boulevard with a park-like center median. The street is lined with government buildings, churches, and large houses of Augusta's 19th-century elite. Telfair Street, the third principal avenue in the historic district, includes some commercial buildings but mostly features community landmark buildings, such as the Academy of Richmond County (1802,1856-57) and the Medical College of Georgia (1835). Ellis Street, a secondary thoroughfare, is lined with commercial buildings and provides service access to the buildings on Broad and Greene streets. The purpose of this nomination is to include in one historic district all of the surviving intact resources associated with downtown Augusta. The Augusta Downtown Historic District includes seventeen individually listed properties, two historic districts, and one National Historic Landmark. The two listed historic districts stretch from the east end of Augusta Downtown Historic District at 5th Street to the west end at 13th Street. The Broad Street Historic District and the Greene Street Historic District are linear districts.

  • Jcpenney BUILDING 732 BROAD STREET | AUGUSTA GA
    THE JCPenney BUILDING 732 BROAD STREET | AUGUSTA GA Jordan Trotter Commercial Real Estate is proud to exclusively market the historic JCPenney Building located along the 700 block of Broad Street in Augusta, Georgia. Purchase Price: $1,975,000 Size: 78,000 Square Feet Year Built: 1895 Zoning: B2 (General Business) *Located in the Opportunity Zone *Eligible for Historic and Special Tax Credits The 700 block is quickly becoming the entertainment district of Augusta with the Imperial Theatre, The Miller Theater, and the future relocation of the Morris Museum of Art across the street. TAX CREDITS UNDERSTANDING HISTORIC TAX CREDITS The federal Historic Tax Credit (HTC) program was enacted in 1976 to encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of historically significant buildings. For a property to be eligible for the HTC Program it must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places, or be located in a registered historic district. Fortunately for the JC Penney Building, the 700 block of Broad Street is located within the Augusta Downtown Historic District, which makes this building eligible for all programs of the National Register. WHAT IS THE INCENTIVE? A 20 percent federal tax credit of Qualified Rehabilitation Expenditures (QRE’s) for the cost incurred during the rehabilitation of a certified historic structure for commercial, agricultural, industrial or residential rental purposes. In addition, the State of Georgia offers two tax incentives. The first is known as the Georgia State Income Tax Credit for Rehabilitated Historic Property. This offers a 25% tax credit on qualified rehab expenses against Georgia income taxes. The second is the State Preferential Property Tax Assessment for Rehabilitated Historic Property.

  • Memorandum of Law in Support of Changes to Stone Mountain Park
    Memorandum of Law in Support of Changes to Stone Mountain Park To: Whom It May Concern From: Stone Mountain Action Coalition Date: October 15, 2020 During public discourse regarding the legal entanglement between the Confederacy and Stone Mountain Park (the “Park”), some have argued that the Stone Mountain Memorial Association (“SMMA” or the “Board”) is powerless to make changes to the Park, claiming that the Board’s “hands are tied by the law.” To the contrary, the Board has discretion to make changes under current Georgia state law. Indeed, all boards created by law have discretion. Absent discretion, such entities would be powerless to take actions pursuant to their statutory mandates. Here, that discretion is front and center, listed in the code among the three primary purposes of the SMMA: (1) To preserve the natural areas situated within the Stone Mountain Park area; (2) To provide access to Stone Mountain for Georgia's citizens; and (3) To maintain an appropriate and suitable memorial for the Confederacy. See O.C.G.A. § 12-3-192.1 (emphasis added) (the complete “Stone Mountain Memorial Act,” O.C.G.A. § 12-3-190, et seq. is attached as Exhibit “A”). Thus, the General Assembly explicitly granted the Board discretion as to what is an “appropriate and suitable” memorial to the Confederacy. Page 1 of 11 I. THE STONE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION IS PERMITTED UNDER GEORGIA STATE LAW TO MAKE CHANGES TO STONE MOUNTAIN PARK. A. The history of Stone Mountain Park and the SMMA underscores the urgent need to make changes at the Park.
