For decades, developers have explored what to do with Underground Atlanta. But now, the long vacant downtown retail center is entering a new phase as a grassroots arts hub, recently hiring set designer Marina Skye and artist Mike Stasny to direct the project. GPB’s Jake Cook spoke with Stasny and artist Jamie Shelton at Stasny’s studio space and art venue in Underground Atlanta.

Kingâs Daughters Health System is set to purchase the Bellefonte Pavilion for $3 million. According to KDMC, the move will result in relocating 300 jobs and creating 150 new jobs.
The Greenup Fiscal Court opened sealed bids on Monday for purchase of the Pavilion. The special meeting was called, not because of the bids, but because one of the court members had previously communicated to the court that they would not be able to attend the regularly scheduled court meeting.
Two bids were offered for the pavilion building and all property involved with it â the property was donated to Greenup County by Bon Secours Health System. It was declared surplus in December.
