Here are the top five stories in Roswell today:
- The Roswell City Council wants residents to take a survey about whether the city should have a bond referendum, which would give voters the power to decide if the City of Roswell can borrow money to pay for capital projects, in the November 2022 election. Those wishing to respond to the survey must do so before noon on Jul. 11. City Council members will vote on the issue at their meeting on Jul. 11. (Roswell Bond)
- On Saturday, Jul. 9, the Fulton County Board of Health will host a Monkeypox Vaccination Event. Registration is required and openings are only available for people who meet specific criteria. The World Health Organization encourages people who exhibit known monkeypox symptoms including blister rash, fatigue, chills, and fever, to isolate and contact a health care worker as soon as possible.

Are you a Roswell resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?
Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.
Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.
Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:
- Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
- Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
- Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
