What Should Go Here?: Former Goodwill Space

Vacant lot is used for overflow parking for nearby golf course, but is there a better and higher use for the land?

The lot at 2201 Glenwood Ave. near the East Lake Publix shopping center had been the former home of a Goodwill Industries thrift store.

Opened in 1972, the site was the first that Goodwill Industries of Atlanta built from the ground up.

Besides the store, the facility also included a career center and a donation center.

But the Goodwill shut down the sprawling facilty a few years ago. Subsequent to the closure, the building came down.

The parking lot still gets use, particulary when there are events at the East Lake Golf Club that require overflow parking.
