COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -

City officials are working hard to make the Chattahoochee River area of town more appealing. New developments along the river are being built to draw in new crowds to the downtown Columbus area.

We got a personal tour on Thursday of one of those developments, the Eagle and Phenix Mill lofts.

Leah Braxton, vice president of broker services for W.C. Bradley Company real estates, says they want to re-brand the area with conveniences like being within walking distances to restaurants, bars, and the river.

Braxton says they want to be a part of the huge Whitewater attraction that is supposed to bring more than 180,000 visitors to that Riverfront area.
