The Decatur Development Authority is selling 252 S. Columbia Dr. to Woda Cooper Development. The entities have entered into a development agreement with plans to construct a workforce housing project on the site.
The sale marks another step in Decatur's ongoing efforts to address housing affordability in one of metro Atlanta's most expensive small cities. Woda Cooper Development specializes in affordable and workforce housing projects, having completed similar developments across the Southeast.
For Decatur residents who have watched housing costs climb steadily over the past decade, the project represents a rare win for affordability in a city where median home prices now exceed $600,000. The South Columbia Drive location offers proximity to downtown Decatur's restaurants and shops while remaining accessible to transit.
