Gilbert Manor housing project occupied the 15 acres beside the Medical College of Georgia for 67 years before the property was sold by the Augusta Housing Authority to the school in 2008. When construction of MCG's dental school begins on the site, bricks, concrete slabs and sidewalk masonry from the housing complex will be ground up and used for new parking lots. Thompson Wrecking Co. expects to recycle 80 percent of what's left from the demolition.

Finally....Let's get the dental school built before we run out of money as the Athens medical school requirements for hundreds of millions begins.
The company probably is not minority-owned and don't even reside in Augusta. How did they get the contract and which commissioners voted for this company. And whats the connection with this company? Of course the questions will go unanswered and the schemes continue. Is this an "open government?"
Justus4---probably is not minority owned? Who cares, if they had low bid they get contract...
Thompson Wrecking Co. is located right downtown where they have been for decades and do tons of work all over the CSRA. Please pay attention!
Exellent job lets keep moving Augusta forward. Growth is good!
According to thie piece in "The Atlantic" section 8 housing is just exporting the criminal element out into the wider community in much the same way cancer spreads by metastasizing.
Guess this is an uncomfortable truth: that certain groups (ethnic or otherwise) have a greater propensity for crime.
I guess this is what they mean by 'celebrating diversity'...
calvincool go back to your kkk meeting. You can't even spell the. Its ''the'' not ''thie''.
I happy the inner core of Augusta is growing. We need black, white, asian, hispanic, and native american proffessionals. Moving downtown like they're doing now. The next 3-5 year's will be big for Augusta.
Probably not minority owned. Crap! When are we going to realize that the only color that really matters in this world is green. Not black, not white, not yellow. Green. The day has long since passed for us to be playing any race cards. And justus4 needs to check out how badly Thompson (and that is spelled with a P, not like the city of Thomson) has gotten screwed by our city government in the past.
Justus4, Why don't you seek a fact before you spew your hatred. This is a project for MCG, the city doesn't control the construction the state does.
Attenz "Sprintman": go smoke another pack of Newports and examine the sorry Jerry Springer-worthy travesty that is your life before you venture to chide someone who is clearly your mental superior.
To wit: your most blatantly omitted the 'comma' after my screen name in your post. Thusly, I am guessing that english is not your 'first language'. Should I translate this into 'ebonics' for your benefit and/or edification?
English remains the 'lingua franca" in this country. I suggest that you master it if you want to be taken seriously...
Otherwise, accomplished and educated people will continue to laugh at you and whatever bastard spawn that you and your 'baby mamma' jettison upon the world.
Your ignorance is stupifying- you assume that anyone who points out any shortcomings in your eschatology must be white and thus a member of the 'kkk'..
If I were not laughing at you I might be tempted to feel sorry for such an ill-informed and ignorant member of humanity. But since you have opted to go for the 'low road', I must assume that you are some 'hood rat' with (much merited) feelings of inferiority.
I am a productive member of society- what are you?
No retort? I guess what they say about crackheads being incapable of linear thought must be true...
