Sandy Springs To Review Arts Facility, Retail at City Center

Staff Report

The Sandy Springs City Council on Wednesday will hold a special called meeting to discuss planning for its City Center.

The Council will hear status updates on site planning, park and open space, a proposed performing arts center and meeting space, retail mix and project budget.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Aug. 27 at Sandy Springs City Hall, which is at 7840 Roswell Road Building 500.

The format for the meeting will incorporate briefings before the council and an opportunity for the public to provide feedback for each topic segment.

Community members wishing to comment will be asked to submit speaker cards before the meeting starts, with ten minutes allocated for public comment for each discussion topic.

City leaders are also asking the public to weigh in on what type of retail they’d like to see in the development. A web survey has opened to solicit input from the community on the mix of retail they’d like to see as part of the new City Center.

The four question survey enables individuals to submit ideas in the categories of restaurant/food, health & beauty, boutiques/fashion/clothing and specialty retail.
