Forum To Present East Roswell Economic Development Findings

ROSWELL, GA — The City of Roswell will host a Special Called Public Forum on Monday, March 2, to share the findings of the East Roswell Economic Action Committee Report, which identifies existing economic development challenges and provides recommendations for potential opportunities east of Warsaw Road.

The forum will be held at the East Roswell Recreation Center, 9000 Fouts Road, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. All members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend.

During this forum, members of the East Roswell Economic Action Committee will present a report resulting from the committee’s work during its initial term of service from February 2019 to February 2020. The report includes topics ranging from economic planning and development, to transportation, character areas, and community facilities. The forum will include a question-and-answer portion, as well opportunities for attendees to provide public comment and submit written comments.

The East Roswell Economic Action Committee was the initiative of Mayor Lori Henry and was established by Mayor and Council to provide the governing body with recommendations on ways to stimulate and revitalize the eastern portion of the city. The committee comprises 10 community volunteers, most of whom live or work in east Roswell, as well as the City Administrator, Director of Community Development, and Executive Director of Roswell Inc, the city’s economic and business development organization.

The findings that will be presented at the open forum were also shared at a recent Special Called Work Session on Thursday, Feb. 20. For more information and to access audio and video of the Feb. 20 session, visit www.roswellgov.com/meetingportal.
