Alive in Roswell returns for 2024 By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Up to 8,000 people sprawled along Canton Street for the first Alive in Roswell of the season April 18, many holding brews, surfing dozens of vendor tents and eating at downtown restaurants. The free street festival, held every third Thursday from April to October, also features live music. Sucker Punch, a ’90s and 2000s cover band, performed on a stage set up in the Roswell Antiques and Interior parking lot — the festival’s second venue, apart from Canton Street. Before the performance, Mayor Kurt Wilson welcomed visitors alongside councilmembers and city staff. Alive in Roswell runs from 5 to 9 p.m. The next one will be May 16. Free regular trolley service connects the free parking at Roswell City Hall and Woodstock Park to the event. AMBER PERRY/APPEN MEDIA

Square Park Roswell awards 2 contracts worth millions Town sees improvements By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com
ROSWELL, Ga. — The Roswell City Council approved two contracts April 22, each with a $2 million limit in total yearly payments. One contract adds an economic development arm for the next five years with Seer World, bolstering
services already under the purview of the city’s economic development director and Roswell Inc., an organization that has regularly received about $277,000 a year from the city to pursue business growth and retain commercial operations. Seer World founder Peter Sorckoff had helped the city land negotiations with United Soccer League as an an-
chor tenant of a stadium and entertainment district in the city. Sorckoff’s consulting work on the district came under scrutiny after a $250,000 payment to the company was passed last year without going through the city’s bidding process.
