As someone putting forth his own downtown renovation efforts, Mark Lusink is glad to see the city of Lula working toward improving the area’s look. “It’s the next step in revitalizing the city,” he said. The northeast Hall County city has torn up one side of Main Street, from Lusink’s historic Poole building near Athens Street to City Hall at Charlotte Street, to make way for new sidewalks, additional parking, and curb and gutter.
