Acworth city officials broke ground on June 3 for a new mixed-use development in the city’s downtown.

The groundbreaking took place at the corner of Southside Drive and Lemon Street by Acworth Mayor Tommy Allegood, the city’s Board of Aldermen and the city’s Downtown Development Authority.

Celebrating more than 50 years in the home construction industry, John Wieland and his JW Collection will build 25 townhomes, joining his greater than 30,000 homes.

In addition, the development will include residential/office condos and new commercial/restaurant space, according to an Acworth news release.
