The city has formally committed to the repurposing of vacant properties for youth programming and educational resource centers. This outcome reflects the persistence of every individual who chose to support this objective. I advise everyone to remain attentive as the implementation process begins.

We the undersigned residents of Augusta Richmond County request city leadership take an active role in providing underprivileged corners with efficient, effective solutions where service and resource gaps allow for fractured and stagnant communities.

We ask that focus be drawn to abandoned properties for demolition and/or repurposing in order for afterschool and weekend programs to cater to needs for recreation, educational assistance and advancement along with career training, readiness, and placement.
