Atlanta Street public housing demolished
0120ATLANTA1
The Northeast Georgia Medical Center is now visible in the distance from Chestnut Street Thursday afternoon now that the Green Hunter Homes are leveled.
The Green Hunter Homes, a 131-unit public housing complex built in the 1950s on Atlanta Street in Gainesville, have been demolished. The complex had to come down because it would cost more to renovate than redevelop, Beth Brown, executive director of the Gainesville Housing Authority, has said. The remainder of the demolition project, including debris cleanup, should be completed in the next two weeks, Brown said.
