• Confusion, uncertainty surround Stone Mountain hotel project (decaturish.com) — Stone Mountain officials and residents are wrestling over whether to put a 60- to 70-room hotel on the Lawn on Main, a city-owned green space downtown. With zoning questions unresolved and no developer chosen, the debate centers on tourism benefits, tax impacts, parking, and whether the project would compromise public access to one of the city's key community spaces.
