The Savannah River has played an important role in the history and development of North Augusta. The City has adopted a long range Plan to restore its connection to the riverfront by transforming underutilized property into parks, recreational uses, tourism venues, commercial activities and new neighborhoods.

When complete, North Augusta's Savannah riverfront will become a new center of activity where residents will be able to stroll or fish at a new riverfront park, live in new traditional neighborhoods, or play golf at a public course with dramatic river views.

Plans for a new Town Center on Georgia Avenue include a new City Hall and other public buildings mixed with retail and commercial uses on a town square. Streetscape improvements will enhance the existing Downtown Business District. The project, to be completed in several phases, includes significant sidewalk, roadway, landscaping and lighting improvements on Downtown streets. Phase I of the Downtown Streetscape Project, to begin in 1999, will reconstruct Georgia Avenue from the Georgia Avenue Bridge to Jackson Avenue.
