The Savannah Gardens Urban Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the Mayor and Aldermen in March 2009 with the primary focus of redeveloping the 44-acre, dilapidated and vacant Strathmore Estates Apartments. Amendment 1 expands the boundary of the Savannah Gardens Urban Redevelopment Plan to include an abandoned, dilapidated former grocery store site just south of the existing boundary; modifies the master plan to reflect proposed land uses for the remaining undeveloped portions of the Urban Redevelopment Plan; and establishes a sunset date for the Plan of December 31, 2021. Adoption of Amendment 1 is also necessary for Mercy Housing SouthEast, Inc.’s 2018 Savannah Gardens housing tax credit application.
