Atlanta Street a ghost town as families move out
0728ATLANTA5
With most of the units at Green Hunter Homes empty as demolition for the complex is set for November, the complex is not bustling with activity.
“It’s a ghost town around here,” Ashley Moore said about the public housing complex on Atlanta Street in Gainesville. Demolition of the complex’s 131 units is scheduled to begin in November, and there are only about 20 families remaining at the property now. It was once common to see dozens of individuals, men and women, sitting on their stoops every afternoon, or hanging outside Peppers’ Market at the corner entrance to the complex.
