Very impressive. Cedar Grove Capital is to be commended. They approached the problem, and took immediate action. They have made an investment, and they are expecting the investment to be worthwhile. The “No Felons” is a major step in getting area back in check. Great job. You have made your Commissioner happy.
Wow! Is there any way to apply that process to the whole city of Augusta.
Where is this apartment complex located in Augusta? This is awesome and more of the same should happen to other complexes in the CSRA! This is a proactive long term investment in Augusta! Thank you, Cedar Grove Capital!
Off Wrightsboro and North Leg
I am so glad to hear this, it’s a LONG time coming. This complex has a reputation going back at least 50 years that I personally know of. As a child I lived in the former Peachtree Gardens although we residents had a different name for it….. “Sin City”!
In the 1950s this complex was called Myrtle Court. Almost all the renters were military families. I was a baby then, but my parents remained life-long friends with several of the other military families that resided there. We left Augusta for many years until my father decided to retire here. Hopefully the entire area around Wrightsboro and North Leg/Jackson Rd. will be transformed into safe neighborhoods.
Catherine McKnight — keep fighting for Augusta!! You’re appreciated.
Catherine McKnight is one of the good ones. I have had the pleasure of meeting her on a couple of occasions, and she strikes me as someone you would want as your Commissioner.
Why not condemn units in Bon Air until its owners get the message and voluntarily bring the property up to meet the standards set by The Landings.
I like Scott’s reporting, always have, but 911 on speed dial? 911 IS speed dial.
Wonderful story
Just had a thought — MAYBE Cedar Grove Capital will buy Joe Mullin’s apartment complex !!!!
The owners are obviously connected and grease the right palms. There could be a murder there everyday and nothing would be done about it. Same thing happens with the seedy motels along Washington road that are hotspots for crime, drugs and human trafficking. Follow the money.
