Welcome to SNDC

During the 1960s, Summerhill established several committees and advisories in an attempt to tackle the neighborhood's problems. However, issues such as urban decay, joblessness, and overcrowded schools persisted. These difficulties persisted throughout the 20th century, with the population dwindling and neighborhood boundaries shrinking.
In the 1990s, the Centennial Olympic Stadium was built in Summerhill, hosting the opening and closing ceremonies as well as track and field events during the 1996 Olympics. The stadium was later transformed into Turner Field, the Atlanta Braves' home, and is now owned by Georgia State University. The Oscar Harris collection reveals that the Olympics' presence sparked renewed interest in developing the neighborhood. Since 1996, neighborhood organizations have been working tirelessly to redevelop Summerhill.
