Stonecrest leaders trying to create new Black Wall Street
The city of Stonecrest is looking at a modern-day Black Wall Street
STONECREST, Ga. - Stonecrest leaders are working to make the city an entrepreneurial hub with a new marketplace that could open as soon as May.
Developers there want to see a market like Ponce or Krog filled with Black- and women-owned businesses.
Right now, the former Target on Mall Parkway stands as a largely empty and boarded-up building, but Stonecrest leaders envision a modern-day Black Wall Street with six to seven restaurants and a banquet space that would hold about 200 people.
