It's almost time for the Columbia County Commissioners to vote on the plans for the future of Marshall Square. The vote will be on Tuesday, May 5th at 6:00 pm in the Evans Government Center Auditorium.
If you would like to see Marshall Square move forward, we would be very grateful if you would send an email expressing your support to the County Commissioners before Tuesday. Simply copy and paste the sentence below into the body of your email and use "I Support Marshall Square" as the subject, and send to your respective commissioner.
I support seeing Evans and the town center come alive through the development of Marshall Square.

While we are confident that the Commission will understand the many economic benefits this project will bring to Evans and Columbia County, we do not take their support for granted, and understand there will be some at the meeting who oppose this development. Your letters of support will help the members of the Commission understand that there are also many supporters in the community.
In this economy, to have a well established company, Miller-Valentine, willing to invest $40 million in Columbia County, offering opportunities to local subcontractors and suppliers, presents an incredible opportunity. The luxury apartments now, to be followed soon by live-work condominiums, high-end retail establishments, restaurants, greenscapes and gathering spaces with extensive landscaping will be an asset to Evans Town Center and all adjoining properties. The economic impact will be substantial, providing an ongoing stream of sales and property tax revenue. There were 500 applicants for jobs at the Chili’s restaurant, so the employment opportunities provided by Marshall Square will also be significant. The new luxury residential units, including upscale apartments and live-work condominiums, will attract retired seniors and young professionals to downtown Evans. New retailers and restaurants interested in Marshall Square and Evans Town Center will certainly see these high-income residents living nearby as an incentive to invest.
We’re ready to start building, and all we need now is a positive vote from the County Commissioners.
