Real Estate Story last updated at 11:37 a.m. on Sunday, March 7, 1999 FROM THE ARCHIVES Athens Banner-Herald, Dec. 18, 1964 By Coke Ellington Big plans have been made for the biggest federal grant ever received by an area planning commission in Georgia through the state's Department of Industry and Trade. The Northeast Georgia Area Planning and Development Commission will put a $159,916 U.S. Housing and Home Finance Agency Section 701 grant together with $79,959 in state and local funds to finance an extensive economic and population analysis and mapping program for a nine-county area. The counties in the area are Barrow, Clarke, Greene, Jackson, Madison, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe and Walton. Each of the nine counties and 57 cities encompassed by the commission ''will benefit tremendously from the research which would be too expensive for any city or county to attempt alone,'' according to the commission's executive director, Burton Sparer. In financing the program, each local dollar was matched by one dollar from the state. The federal government matched that amount with two dollars for each local or state dollar. Study result returns are worth two to four times the amount contributed locally, Sparer said.

Athens-Clarke County Planning Department - ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF HISTORIC PRESERV greatly impacted by their proximity to state borders, or with the largest of the threecities, with over residents, rests in the Piedmont of northeast georgia. http://www.athensclarkecounty.com/~planningdept/hpecon1.html

Summary of Project Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation in Georgia, A Study of Three Communities: Athens, Rome, and Tifton Historic preservation is good business. Through the use of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's research model, The Economic Benefits of Preserving Community Character: A Practical Methodology , the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has explored the financial impact of preservation on three communities. The project was conducted with the cooperation of the Athens-Clarke County Planning Department with support from the Downtown Development Offices of Rome and Tifton Case studies for the three cities, which examine construction activity in historic districts, property values, and tourism, illustrate how preservation is helping cities and towns throughout Georgia. The project goal was to measure the effects of preservation efforts on three local economies. The National Trust methodology calls for analysis of three types of economic activity. Construction and rehabilitation contribute to the economy through the number of projects undertaken and the dollar amount spent on these endeavors. Property tax assessments and sales figures indicate how historic properties values perform over time. Commercial activity reflects the dollars spent in a community, as well as the number of jobs created as a result of preservation tourism. Physical parameters of the study were set by choosing three communities whose economic outcomes which would be representative of many cities and towns throughout the state. Savannah, Macon, and Atlanta were eliminated from the study because of their large size, unique preservation programs, and inclusion in many previous studies. Towns greatly impacted by their proximity to state borders, or with single-industry economies, were similarly discounted.
