Davis says, the proposal puts Augusta on the road to finding a good use for a property that’s become an eyesore after years of neglect.
"My goal is not to decide what ultimately gets there," said Davis. "As a legislator my role is getting the property back into the hands of the community."
Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver says the property could become a down town baseball stadium.
The bill must be passed by the house and signed by Governor Sonny Perdue before it can be enacted.
