The Atlanta River Walk would bring homes, shopping, restaurants, offices, a hotel and a man-made river to 508 acres off Old Winder Highway in South Hall near the Jackson County line.
A regional review of a proposed 508-acre waterfront development in South Hall near the Jackson County line raises some concerns about the development’s impact on the watershed. “There are lakes and additional wetlands shown on various aerials that are not being designated on the concept plan,” according to a Jackson County written response to the project. And the Atlanta Regional Commission says, “After construction, water quality will be impacted due to polluted stormwater runoff.”
