The property, encompassing about 6 acres, is adjacent to the west side of the Eisenhower Parkway exit ramp off the southbound lanes of Interstate 475.
“This acquisition, structured to ensure the college made the most efficient use of taxpayer dollars, is an investment in the future of Middle Georgia State and the region,” said Nancy Stroud, the college’s vice president for fiscal affairs. “As we move toward university status and work on a campus master plan, purchasing this property simply made sense.”
The college already owned a small portion of the land east of Romeiser Drive and north of Eisenhower, but this recent acquisition brings in all of the land from Romeiser to I-475.
Stroud said college staff and contractors have begun preparing the land for future use. Contractors will soon begin asbestos abatement at the property, after which all of the buildings will be demolished. A decision about how to make use of the cleared property will be made and announced at a later date, she said.
