| Historic Rennovation in Blue Ridge | The Fannin County Industrial Development Authority received a low-interest loan from the Georgia Cities Foundation to assist in the acquisition and renovation of a historic building located in downtown Blue Ridge. The newly-renovated facility, known as Hampton Square, houses retail shops, offices, a restaurant, a 132-seat community theatre, and a processing facility for alpaca fibers. The Foundation, a non-profit subsidiary of the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) provided a $179,000 loan for this project, contingent on an equal dollar commitment from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). | Carolyn Wills Director Fannin County Development Authority 706-632-4450 cjwills@fannindevelopment.com |
