Sandy Springs sets north end open house
As Sandy Springs continues to look at ways to revitalize the city’s aging north end, it has invited the public to an open house later this month to hear a short presentation followed by a “visioning” session.
The open house is to be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 25, at the Sherwood Event Hall, 8610 Roswell Road.
Announcing the open house in its July e-newsletter, Sandy Springs cited Mayor Rusty Paul's State of the City address, in which he said creating a healthy retail environment and affordable housing in the north area would be a top priority.
Earlier this year, the Sandy Springs City Council formed a 12-member citizens’ task force to develop a vision and plan for the north end.
The area is a candidate for redevelopment because of low-density rental housing typical of the 1960s and 1970s, a poorly performing retail environment, and disconnection from other parts of the city that are doing well, staff said in a report to the council. A final report is due January 2019.
