A new project has been proposed at the intersection of Jefferson and Whitehead Road — Bluebird Lane, a 31-acre mixed-use community designed to put people before cars and focus on connection, sustainability, and affordability.
The proposed development includes cottage-style homes and shared green spaces, built using structural insulated panels (SIPs) — a method intended to lower energy costs and make homes more efficient and affordable. The concept aims to provide attainable housing options for teachers, nurses, first responders, and others who keep Athens strong.
What’s Being Proposed:
-SIPs Construction: Faster, greener, and more energy-efficient homes.
-Cottage-Style Design: Front porches, gardens, and walkable streets that foster community.
-Attainable Housing: Homes designed to keep Athens accessible to working families.
-Sustainability: Lower energy use, smaller environmental footprint, smarter building practices.
I encourage you to come out, learn more, ask questions, and share your thoughts as our community discusses what this project could mean for the future of Athens.
