In an unexpected twist, Atlanta Housing (AH) will push the long-awaited redevelopment of the former Bowen Homes public housing site to the back burner “until a later date,” the agency’s CEO, Eugene Jones, told Atlanta Civic Circle on Wednesday.
“Hopefully before the end of the year,” he added.
Asked why AH was delaying the project — which would bring mixed-income residences, commercial development, and parkland to 74 Westside acres that have sat vacant for nearly 13 years — Jones said he could not yet disclose why.
