Visions for three projects, from a long-discussed dog park to an ambitious transformation of an old warehouse block to feature loft apartments, a restaurant, greenspaces and a pool, emerged from a Georgia Downtown Renaissance study of downtown Statesboro this summer. In full, it's the Georgia Downtown Renaissance Fellows Program, supported by the Georgia Municipal Association, the Georgia Cities Foundation and the Carl Vinson Institute of Government. The program provides supervision and technical support for graduate students from the University of Georgia's College of Environment and Design to work on downtown development plans for Georgia cities.
