Many real estate developers and investors would see a story about Smyrna, GA, officials looking at improving their downtown and not bother to read it. One reason for not reading it is because they will tell themselves they don’t have time.
From here, these are stories that should be at the top of their reading list, regardless of geographic location. Smyrna happens to be 700 miles away from my office, but that doesn’t matter. The below linked story provides plenty of information about what that municipality is looking at to significantly expand the economic development of its downtown area.
They are calling for 350 single-family homes, a new hotel, and a number of improvements geared toward handling the additions. With serious discussions on the docket for Q1 of 2026, there could quickly be plenty of opportunities for developers, investors, brokers, lenders, and contractors. Sometimes it is who you know ahead of what you know.
What I know about this is that my team and I are currently working with two municipalities which are hundreds of miles away toward bringing state-of-the-art new development to each, including a family entertainment destination and restaurant facility which can be indoor or outdoor depending upon the current weather and conditions. We joke that “It takes a Village!” to improve one because of coordinating between various entities and concepts.
Now we get word that Smyrna is among those communities seeking those opportunities. Those that overlook the story (and others like it) will miss out on the type of opportunities they think they are pursuing.
Meanwhile, I have the time to research and pursue opportunities to make my valued clients and connections “first in” on their next profitable venture.
