The City of Ball Ground features a downtown business
district with an extensive history. When it was deemed
necessary to revitalize the eclectic collection of
buildings, sidewalks, and streets, the jB+a Urban Design
Studio was enlisted as the prime consultant. The Design
team was asked to produce streetscape concepts, a
long-range pedestrian upgrade plan, and construction
documents for the implementation of the ideas. The
town’s topography allows for an overlook plaza where
pedestrians can view the street life across the entire
business district. This area also includes interpretive
signage that will show the visitor a glimpse of
Ball Ground’s past. The new sidewalks are laid in brick
pavers with concrete bands, while new parking facilities
allow for visitors and event overflow parking.
As Ball Ground was once a lively marble processing
center for north Georgia, marble is included in many
accents throughout the design. |
