As part of the effort to update the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Sandy Springs leaders and staff are in the midst of gathering feedback from residents on what they would prioritize as improvements the city should undertake in the next 10 years.
This effort, dubbed The Next Ten by city planners and consultants, kicked off this summer with a series of stakeholder meetings and a presence at the Sandy Springs Festival.

The conversation continues this week as the planning team hits the road to make stops throughout the city.
“It’s important that we get feedback from across the community, and to ensure we meet that goal, we are taking the conversation to where community members work, live and gather,” said Deana Rhodeside, director of Rhodeside & Harwell, the city’s consultant.
The planning team will begin the road show on Wednesday Oct. 14 with an open studio, a three-hour open house where community members can drop in and talk about the future of Roswell Road.
This kick-off event for the Roswell Road Small Area Plan will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Sandy Springs North Shopping Center (behind Hudson Grille) located at 6317 Roswell Road.
On Friday, Oct. 16, the planning team will head out in The Next Ten mobile planning unit with a stop at the North Springs Charter High School football game to talk with parents and students.
On Saturday, Oct. 17 and Sunday, Oct 18, the team will make stops at parks, apartment communities and shopping centers around the city. During those mobile stops, community members can learn more about the process and share with planners their thoughts and ideas for building the city for the next ten years.
To find a stop convenient to visit, visit the Next Ten website at www.thenext10.org. A complete schedule and opportunities for the community to share information can be found on The Next Ten website.
