The Athens City Council is scheduled to consider annexing the Henderson County Performing Arts Center property when it meets Monday, May 17. The two acre HCPAC property is located at 400 Gibson Road. The move would benefit the Center by tying it into city water and sewer services.
âSome of the property lies inside the city limits and some of it is not,â said Audrey Sloan, City Director of Developmental Services.

A zoning change allowing a developer to convert the vacant Quality Inn on State Highway 31 East to efficiency apartments won approval from the Athens City Council Monday. The change would also allow a restaurant and coffee shop.
The Athens City Council agreed to a zoning change that will allow a developer to convert the old Quality Inn property into efficiency apartments.
The 4-1 vote, with Mayor Monte Montgomery opposed, changes the zoning from commercial to multi-family use.
Paul Yazbeck from Profectus Multifamily Capital, LLC said with the zoning change approval they may be able to close on the property by late May.
