Sandy Springs announced Thursday it is shopping for a developer to draw up a master plan for the Central Business District, a plan that would establish the area as a government and community hub.

The city wants a detailed site plan and development analysis for a civic center complex or other properties that may be used for public purposes.

At the same time, the city is seeking information on areas in the city center that might be suitable for a stand-alone government facility or mixed-use project, incorporating residential and non-residential uses including a new municipal complex.
