Sandy Springs launches web site to plot second decade
As it celebrates its 10-year anniversary, Sandy Springs has launched a new web site to solicit public opinion on how it should develop in its second decade.
The site – www.thenext10.org – contains information on the city's land-use plans and allows the public to weigh in on various topics through interactive maps, polls and other methods.
“Sandy Springs began as a suburban outpost,” Mayor Rusty Paul said. “We are now a business center, alongside a great collection of neighborhoods. As we build upon what’s great and improve on what is weak, we plan to use all the tools at our disposal to bring the community into the conversation.”
