Additional Property Attributes

In 2018, Focused Community Strategies (FCS) started to redevelop this vacant gas station into a new restaurant and community meeting space. FCS purchased the property in May 2018 for $337,500 knowing they have environmental issues to address. The City's assessment, including the removal of underground storage tanks to completely assess possible contamination, was critical first step in the redevelopment. The site is at a vital intersection in the historic South Atlanta neighborhood. Across the street, FCS owns and operates a neighborhood grocery story (Carver Market) and a coffeeshop (Community Grounds). It is also a tenth of a mile from the Southside BeltLine Trail. FCS estimates their redevelopment investment to be over $500,000. They also anticipate 10 temporary (construction) jobs and potentially 15 permanent jobs resulting from the redevelopment.

Former Use: 105 McDonough Boulevard historically was a gas station from 1958 to 2008 when it was vacated. Two 4,000-gallon gasoline UST, one 2,000-gallon gasoline UST, and two product dispensers have been removed and the site assessed.
