On November 15, the City of Decatur and Decatur Development Authority will host a Small Scale Real Estate Development Workshop. Get a big picture view of small scale real estate development. The Workshop offers specialized training about how to create small projects, like 1-3 story buildings with less than 20 units, which are residential, commercial or mixed use. The Workshop is a day-long session designed to introduce the principles and implementation mechanisms behind neighborhood based development projects. The course assumes you know a lot about where you live, but not necessarily much about the real estate process or building development. Discover where you need help and meet the people who can help you. Through presentations on finance, design and site selection, a hands-on practice exercise, and networking with local like-minded people, this workshop is the first step to becoming a small developer yourself or creating a supportive ecosystem for small development in your city.

Would be great if the leaders of Thankful Missionary Baptist can be there so that they might consider holding onto their adjacent property and develop it themselves, instead of selling (if they’re interested of course).
