North End Redevelopment Workshop Set For Oct. 18

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Residents and stakeholders continue to hold a dialogue on the future of the north end of Sandy Springs, and the community is invited to review draft visions and goals for the area.

The workshop will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18 at Sandy Springs City Hall. During the meeting, the city will present the draft visions and goals covering education, housing, arts, housing affordability, arts, economic development, transportation, and green infrastructure.

Following the presentation, community members will participate in an open house to provide feedback and input. The Oct. 18 meeting is a follow up to the workshop held in July.

The North End Revitalization Task Force consists of 14 volunteer members appointed by the mayor and City Council. It is working on creating a vision for the North End project area. The group's goal is to deliver recommendations to the city council by Jan. 1, 2019.

The mission of the North End Revitalization Task Force is to create a vision and plan for revitalizing Sandy Springs’ North End that is achievable and sustainable, that benefits the city as a whole, and that creates a place for the families presently living in the neighborhoods. In doing its work, the Task Force will describe the role that the city should play in this plan, the roles that others — including businesses and landowners — will be asked to play, and will recommend a set of actions for the City Council to consider in 2019.
