Medical District (shop, health, parking)

I think the MCG dorms and the Heal facility. Should give the area around Paine College a bigger city feel. Paine College campus can be great. I wonder if MCG or Paine is going to get the old building on Central ave. I think the building is a abandoned warehouse. I know MCG got the old Wife Saver property.

no actually the wife savers building belongs to Paine College and they rent it out to MCG, Paine COllege just opened up a weight room/work out room for its students there recently

[All4Augusta]

for parking MCG rents it from Paine College, o and I wonder if MCG will by castleberry property?

[fammaf]

Castleberry would have to close down first. I'd look for MCG to expand on the Sunset property or the Kroger shopping center.

[All4Augusta]

I thought castleberry was closed already after the scare of tainted foods coming through there, what kind of production is going on there now?

[nortonguy]

The kroger shopping center can be turned into something else. Unless its redone and upgraded. If not have Mcg or Paine use it.

[All4Augusta]

I dont see paine using it, it seems like they are having a hard time raising money 2 build the heal center so getting more land isnt going to happen in teh near future without divine intervention

[nortonguy]

What's the total cost of the heal facility? I know paine is a small college. But alot of rich black people graduated from there. I mean Paine got Bill Cosby more than once to come speak. Surely they should be able to raise the money. Even if we are still in a recession.

[All4Augusta]

5 million

Applications to attend MCG are up. The medical school will be expanding for the next 20 years.
