Lawrenceville to consider $20 million development project

Lawrenceville officials will consider a $20 million redevelopment project at its monthly work session at 5 p.m. April 19 at City Hall, 70 South Clayton St. Richport Properties, currently under a purchase-sale agreement with the Downtown Development Authority, will present an office space and residential concept to create Lawrenceville’s first mixed-use environment for the downtown area in almost a decade.

The project, referred to as City View, will sit on the former 7.5-acre site of the historic Lawrenceville High School. Richport properties will propose a 58-unit mix of single-family detached homes, townhomes, cottages and office space.

“The Cornerstone Development at Culver and Crogan Streets is the only mixed-use development project in our downtown and it is completely occupied with a waiting list at times,” said City Manager Chuck Warbington.
