ATHENS LAND TRUST

Athens Land Trust (ALT) was founded in 1994 by Skipper StipeMaas and Nancy Stangle. At the time, the two women were involved in the development of the Kenney Ridge community, a single-family neighborhood located on 139 acres on Tallassee Road in Athens-Clarke County... Athens Land Trust is a Community Land Trust (CLT). "CLTs are nonprofit organizations-governed by a board of CLT residents, community residents and public representatives-that provide lasting community assets and permanently affordable housing opportunities for families and communities... In collaboration with the Athens community, we approach sustainable development with a look toward addressing environmental, economic, and community needs. We aim to combine the tools of conservation land trusts with those of community land trusts to create healthy neighborhoods across Athens and the state of Georgia.
