Cedar         Creek

To recognize residents of Cedar Creek who have contributed not only to our neighborhood but the greater Athens community, the CCCA Board of Directors recommended the creation of a plaque and the Athens-Clarke County Commission approved its installation on April 25, 2013 at the intersection of Ponderosa and Ravenwood Drive.

The granite and bronze monument first recognized States McCarter, who passed away in 2009. A former president of the Cedar Creek Civic Association, States entered public life in the mid-1990s, fighting a zoning dispute over a buffer between Cedar Creek and a proposed apartment complex. As the District 8 Clarke County Commissioner in 2000, States changed Athens politics by relentlessly devoting himself to the environment, development and quality-of-life laws that were specifically designed to protect Athens' neighborhoods.

Those interested in submitting other residents for inclusion on the memorial, please refer to the Cedar Creek Honors Plaque criteria.
