Demorest DDA Considers Extending Business-Support Area From Cemetery to Cemetery
The Demorest Downtown Development Authority discussed expanding its business-support area at its March 2 meeting, considering a “cemetery to cemetery” footprint along Old 441/Central Avenue from Demorest City Cemetery to Yonah Memorial Gardens. The proposal would include adjacent corridor properties and the Historic District, though the meeting minutes do not say whether the motion to expand was adopted.

The next public indication will be a later DDA meeting record or City of Demorest filing that states what happened to the motion and, if it was approved, identifies the official boundary. Until then, the key questions remain whether the authority adopted the expansion and whether the Historic District and adjoining Old 441/Central Avenue properties are formally within its support area.
This matter rests on a single official record so far. It stays compact until a later record adds to it.
