Broad Street Renovation Delays and Hope | Augusta Georgia News

Broad Street’s downtown renovation is causing major headaches for local shops with missed deadlines and poor communication—though city officials say it’s a learning phase for future projects. The stretch between 13th and 12th, originally slated for July completion, is now pushed to September 14th. Dr. Hameed Malik, Director of Engineering, calls it a “test block” to refine advanced construction strategies and insists updates are available via a dedicated website—and he’s personally reachable by phone or email. While frustration runs high, some business owners like Fred Daitch see the long-term payoff: a revitalized downtown with empty lots filling up fast. Short-term pain may be inevitable, but the vision is a transformed Augusta core. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
