About this project

Blue Bell Motorcars plans to use the vacant two-story house at 1684 DeKalb Pike on a 0.57-acre lot for vehicle storage on the first floor, with one dwelling unit kept on the second floor. The company also plans a new 3,750-square-foot building for vehicle maintenance and more storage. The house stays on the site, and the work is across the intersection from the company's existing dealership on Swede Road.
