Thanks to generous support from the Citizens of Georgia Power, our next home will be constructed at 1922 Battle Row, directly adjacent to the TBTB offices and warehouse. Each year, the Citizens of Georgia Power hold a golf and shooting clays tournament at Sage Valley to benefit local non-profit organizations. Turn Back the Block was fortunate to be a beneficiary of this amazing event in 2019.

The new construction home will be a three bedroom, two bath home, which will hopefully house a Harrisburg educator. If you are interested in this property, please make sure to fill out our preliminary application to start the home ownership process. Construction will commence in 2020.

Big thanks are in order to the Plant Vogtle Citizens of Georgia Power for creating our first home construction sponsorship!

2020 is off to a great start at Turn Back the Block. The organization has demolished three properties which were in desperate need of demo. Two properties on Telfair are now clear, vacant lots, and another on Saint Luke. These properties could not be saved, and served as nuisance properties to the neighborhood. Fortunately, grant funds allowed us the opportunity to start fresh on these Harrisburg streets.

The new construction home at 2014 Battle Row is taking shape with the FROGS hard at work. The kitchen cabinets and countertops have been installed, flooring laid, and more work to come. This three bedroom, two bath home should be ready for its homeowner mid-2020.
