VICKERY from 1A
the south Forsyth community.
Vickery Village, the commercial
portion, boasts about 35 special¬
ty shops and restaurants. Some
250 homes have sold in the
development since summer
2003.
The village and about one
third of the residential portion
are included in the foreclosure,
said Smith, adding that the
YMCA and a couple of other
parts of the village are exclud¬
ed.
“Vickery is really, from the
lender’s perspective, is treated
as one development and, obvi¬
ously, it’s in different phases of
completion,” Smith said.
“But overall the goal is for
us to work with the lender to
restructure what I call the mas¬
ter financing, and that’s what
we’re in the process of doing.”

Smith said that an unfortu¬
nate part of that restructuring
process is foreclosure, which
“enables the lender to have
more control.”
Laura Hoover, owner of the
Pear Tree, one of the first shops
to open in the village in 2006,
said she is optimistic.
“It’s a period of time,” she
said. “I think that we weather
the storm. We’ve got a great
customer base and the commu¬
nity has been phenomenal since
we opened, and I think it’ll con¬
tinue to be that way.”
Gina Meyers, co-owner of
Carta Bella, echoed Hoover’s
optimism.
“I don’t think foreclosure
ever helps business,” she said.
“We’ve seen an increase of
sales this year, so that’s always
good.”

Smith said the foreclosure
should stabilize conditions for
merchants in Vickery Village.
“I think the bottom line is,
financially speaking, the village
and Vickery as a whole should
be in a much better position,” he
said.
Less than 1 percent of the
Hampton and Chattahoochee
River Club developments also
face foreclosure.' Smith said
those properties are platted, but
homes have not been built on
them.
