The city owns about 260 acres bordered by Richland Creek to the north, Ga. Highway 20 to the south, Suwanee Dam Road to the east, and the Chattahoochee River Park to the west. This meeting will allow the city to receive input from the community that will help develop a concept plan for future uses of the land.

The drop-in open house will begin with a short introduction, followed by opportunities to ask questions and share ideas. Masks are recommended and social distancing will control the number of people in the room.
