There’s an awful lot of acceleration around the re-engineering of the Lower Chattahoochee in Columbus. The City’s Facebook page keeps us up with local news and announcements about the course. https://www.facebook.com/Chattahoochee.River.Whitewater#!/columbusgawhitewater
This has informed us that folks in Georgia are not only proud of the opportunity on the west side of the river. They’re investing on the eastern / Alabama side, as well. This was shared by Jack Goble, P.E., noting a quote from the president of W.C. Bradley Real Estate, during the announcement of their purchasing prime retail space at the put in to one of the most exciting stretches of whitewater in the southeast:
“I think what whitewater does is it immediately brings people to the market,” he said. “It’s not one of these situations where you build retail and you hope people will come there. We know for a fact that thousands and thousands of people are going to come to this river to ride the rafts and kayaks and all of the other things.”
