The Providence Group Dedicates Covered Bridge at
Woodbridge Crossing to Smyrna Mayor Max Bacon Ribbon cutting
ceremony held Tuesday, March 25
April 2008 - More than 200 guests joined The Providence Group as the
new home builder dedicated the covered bridge at Woodbridge Crossing
to Smyrna Mayor Max Bacon on Tuesday, March 25th. To commemorate the
opening of the bridge, special guests, including agents, homeowners
and representatives from the media, attended a ribbon cutting
ceremony and celebration sponsored by Countrywide Financial at the
community. View our video.
Woodbridge Crossing is located in the Concord Covered Bridge
Historic Area of Smyrna. The community features single-family
courtyard and garden homes priced from the low $400,000s to the
$500,000s.
“The
dedication of the new bridge at Woodbridge Crossing was a success,”
said Ginny Bryant, Director of Marketing for The Providence Group.
“We were honored to have so many special guests attend, including
Mayor Max Bacon, City Council Representative Pete Wood, Harold Smith
with the Smyrna Historical Society and Titus Edwards a
representative from York Bridge Concepts, the company that designed
and built our one-of-a-kind bridge at Woodbridge Crossing. It was a
delight to see the mayor’s face when we unveiled the plaque
announcing that the bridge was named after him. We hope this bridge
will be a joy to residents of the community and Smyrna for many
years to follow.”
During the event, guests were invited to tour the model homes and
clubhouse at the community and were treated to a catered lunch by
Carolyn’s Gourmet Café. Numerous prizes were given away throughout
the day, including a custom pub bar, bar stools, and four teak
lounge chairs donated by Towne Lake Heating and Air, a flat screen

Atkins Park and McCray’s Tavern, gym memberships with a personal
trainer, and $1,500 in cash.
Designed exclusively for the property, York Bridge Concepts built
the bridge at Woodbridge Crossing. The double lane bridge crossing
over Nickajack Creek, was built to withstand the rigors of
modern-day traffic. However, the look of the covered bridge adds a
touch of nostalgia to the community and preserves the history of the
land upon which it is built. For more information on York Bridge

Homes
April 2008 – During the weekends of April 19 & 20 and 26 & 27
more than 100 new homes throughout the Atlanta region will be part
of the 2008 Spring Parade of Homes. This year’s Parade will be
unlike any other, combining the forces of four local Home Builders
Associations. During the Parade, guests can tour a variety of home
styles and types built by a variety of builders.
“There has never been a better time to buy a new home than now.”
said David Ellis, executive vice president of the Greater Atlanta
Home Builders Association. “As a steady demand for new homes
continues, we are seeing the current inventory supply shrinking.
Lower housing prices and special incentives will soon be a thing of
the past as builders begin to sell their current inventory. The
Spring Parade of Homes offers new home shoppers and those who are
considering buying a new home the opportunity to visit a variety of
communities, and to speak with real estate agents and buyers.”
The 2008 Parade of Homes is free and open to the public. Specifics
on builders and communities participating are available on
www.paradeofhomesatlanta.com.
“This event comes at a perfect time,” continues Ellis. “Today’s real
estate market is truly a buyers’ market. For many, that makes owning
a dream home an even more affordable option than previously thought.
Interest rates remain low, increasing how much home can be bought
for the same monthly payment than with higher interest rates. A
strong job market and great incentives are also contributing
factors, making now the best time to buy a new home and get a great
deal.”
The Parade will be held the weekends of April 19 & 20 and 26 & 27,
with an option to have the homes open the week in between. Each
participating home will be featured on the Parade’s Web site, which
