A small townhome development could be on the horizon for downtown Clarkesville, if a developer decides to move forward with the idea after having discussions with city officials.
During the Clarkesville City Council’s work session on Monday, May 5, City Manager Keith Dickerson shared that a developer has expressed interest in constructing a small townhome project on the site of the former Church’s funeral home on Washington Street.
While no formal application has been submitted, the developer has provided conceptual renderings to illustrate what the development might look like.
According to Dickerson, the developer has primarily been asking questions and gathering information at this stage. A more formal conversation is expected to take place in June when the developer meets with the city’s planning commission to further explore the project idea and address any regulatory or procedural concerns.
Dickerson emphasized that his intent in briefing the council was to ensure transparency and to give members an early heads-up in case the proposal progresses.
No timeline has been set for when—or if—the project will advance beyond the concept phase. The development would require planning commission approval before moving forward.
