Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

The City of Atlanta has made an offer to buy the Morris Brown campus, Invest Atlanta officials confirmed Thursday.

The $12.6 million offer, made in conjunction with Friendship Baptist Church, reportedly proposes giving part of the 37-acre property to the church and allows financially strapped Morris Brown to retain its historic buildings. The college has filed for bankruptcy.

If the offer is accepted, Atlanta would take control of such amenities as the colleges stadium, officials said.

Invest Atlanta Managing Director Eloisa Klementich said under the proposal, Atlanta will spend $9 million. Friendship Baptist, one of two churches that sold its property to make way for the new Atlanta Falcons stadium, will contribute $3.6 million. Invest Atlanta is the citys economic development agency.

Klementich said the city has many reasons for pursuing the property, including helping to redevelop the nearby communities and the Martin Luther King Jr. Drive corridor. The deal would also allow Morris Brown to continue offering educational programs.

Its an opportunity to make sure theres a comprehensive and cohesive strategy around whats happening in this very important part of town, making sure were supporting jobs and economic development as much as we can, she said. Thats the vision for us at this point.

Mayor Kasim Reed said in a statement Thursday that partnering with Friendship allows both parties a critical stake in the revitalization of the area.

If we succeed in this bid, it will bring much-needed stability and cohesiveness to these communities as we embark on a determined effort to spur job creation, civic engagement and business investment to the historic neighborhoods of Vine City and English Avenue, Reeds statement read.

Morris Brown president Stanley Pritchett could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Atlanta officials are playing a role in the $1.3 billion Atlanta Falcons stadium, including issuing $200 million in bonds backed by hotel-motel taxes for its construction. The stadium is within walking distance of the Morris Brown campus.

The process of building a Mormon temple

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released a video, an infographic and a detailed text description of its approach to building temples on the Mormon Newsroom website Wednesday.

The downloadable infographic provides an overview of the five stages: funding, site selection, design, construction and completion. The YouTube video expounds on these stages with comments from Elder William R. Walker, executive director of the Temple Department, as well as construction workers and others who oversee the process.

The video, infographic and text all emphasize the unyielding attention to detail that is a part of the process, right down to the building materials and decorative motifs.

"The high building standards are in place for two main reasons," according to the MormonNewsroom.org article. "First, Latter-day Saints believe their temples are among the holiest places on earth and tributes to God; second, the church builds these temples to last hundreds of years."

The LDS Church has 142 temples in operation, with 14 under construction and 14 that have been announced but are not yet in the building stages.

Read the full step-by-step explanation of the temple-building process and find the infographic at MormonNewsroom.org.

MOUNT DORA A mound of dirt and a handful of shovels lay in the middle of the historic downtown area where city officials, residents and merchants joined Mayor Cathy Hoechst today in a ground breaking ceremony to kick off phase two of the streetscape construction project.

The $3 million construction effort calls for updates to the commercial downtown area, including replacing water and sewer lines, reconstructing sidewalks and ramps, and installing new landscape and irrigation.

"We are open. We will remain open for business," said Hoechst. "We want them [the public] to come down and help celebrate our construction, and then definitely come back on October 1 when it's all done and beautiful."

Construction started today on Third Avenue from Dora Drawdy Way to Baker Street. The area will be closed to traffic, but sidewalks and businesses will remain accessible and open. Parking will be available at the lot on Tremain Street and at the First United Methodist Church.

Additional construction on Donnelly Street from Fourth to Fifth Avenue will begin June 1 with the entire second phase complete by October 1, the city said.

"We have not painted this as a beautiful, wonderful picture during construction," Hoechst said. "The beautiful, wonderful picture comes after we're done. But we're going to be dealing with some pretty challenging construction."

After last year's tumultuous $4 million first-phase construction project, city officials pledged more dialogue with merchants and residents to keep disruptions at a minimum.

In addition to holding monthly meetings with merchants, officials have increased efforts to update the public by posting more frequently on social media and the city's website, and mailing residents updates, said city spokeswoman Kelda Senior.

Akhtar Hussain, owner of the Village Coffee Pot and Mount Dora Confectionary, said although the construction may impact his business, city officials have provided plenty of information about the project.

"[The] city is very cooperative," Hussain said. "They are very concerned about that."
