Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul will give his highly-anticipated State of the City address at a luncheon sponsored by the Sandy Springs Perimeter Chamber (SSPC) on Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. The program, which will be held at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North (7 Concourse Pky., NE, Sandy Springs, Ga. 30328) is one of the most popular lunchtime programs offered by the Chamber, and last year drew over 200 attendees, according to SSPC President Tom Mahaffey.

“Mayor Paul’s annual address is a highly anticipated opportunity for business people to hear the mayor’s goals for the upcoming year and celebrate highlights of the previous year,” said Mahaffey. “On Feb. 28, I expect he will discuss a number of key issues including our city’s thriving economic development, transportation -- including Braves traffic plans, the progress of City Springs and the new zoning moratorium, among other topics.”
