North Fulton city planners navigate density, housing

By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — North Fulton County cities navigate a complex web of often disparate interests in facilitating the next generation of development, city planners said at a March 11 town hall.

Community development directors from Roswell, Johns Creek and Alpharetta spoke to a group of about 50 for more than an hour at River Landing in Roswell. Hosted by the Atlanta Realtors Political Action Committee, the event featured Johns Creek’s Ben Song, Alpharetta’s Kathi Cook and Roswell’s Jeannie Peyton.

The North Atlanta area has become a focal

point for development, the three community development directors said. That activity has sometimes posed tricky dilemmas to city planners.

In particular, affordable housing has required planners to carefully balance competing interests.

Developers often look to density to make projects profitable, which can bring additional residents and traffic to areas.

Density alone is not necessary detrimental, but Cook said officials must consider the surrounding community when considering how dense a project should be.

‘A labor of love’ Food pantry opens in East Roswell

By HANNAH YAHNE hannah@appenmedia.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — North Fulton Community Charities opened its first satellite food pantry at Bridge to Grace Church in East Roswell, furthering the nonprofit’s mission to ease hardship and foster financial stability.

A crowd of church volunteers, donors and community leaders gathered with members of the charity to celebrate the March 11 ribbon cutting at the food pantry and garden at 2385 Holcomb Bridge Road.

The East Roswell food pantry will provide immediate relief to around 100 families each week. By opening a separate location, NFCC has decreased travel times for those seeking financial relief.

In 2025, the charity served nearly 10,000 people and reached more than 3,700 households through its main food pantry on Elkins Road. Food was provided to an average of 210 families each day.

“The need is growing,” NFCC’s Senior Manager of Brand Strategy Blaine McCarty said. “So, we have to rise to the occasion to meet that need.”

Sandy Springs police PIT vehicle on I-85

By CARL APPEN carl@appenmedia.com

ATLANTA — Sandy Springs Police pursued a vehicle for 20 miles at high speeds March 12, eventually forcing it to crash with a precision intervention technique (PIT) south of Brookhaven on I-85.

The late-night incident began when an officer attempted to pull over a Dodge Charger on Ga. 400 in Sandy Springs. When the driver allegedly failed to stop, officers began to pursue the car southbound. The vehicles then reportedly reached speeds of 97 mph.

SSPD officers attempted a PIT maneuver after a few miles, but the vehicle escaped and headed east on I-285. When law enforcement from other cities located the vehicle in Chamblee, Sandy Springs officers reengaged pursuit.

Dunwoody Police were then following the charger as it headed southbound on I-85. Sandy Springs officers caught up to the vehicles, overtook Dunwoody law enforcement and began acting as the primary pursuit agency.

Eventually, Sandy Springs conducted another PIT maneuver shortly before the Clairmont Road exit. This time, the move resulted in the Charger spinning out and crashing on the highway.

Ten units, including two from Dunwoody, were on scene as Sandy Springs arrested the driver. At least one other vehicle crashed during the incident, according to

Woman has license seized in possible identity mix-up

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A 33-year-old

Alpharetta woman reported her driver’s license had been wrongfully seized because of an error stemming from an alleged identity theft.

Alpharetta police said the woman called police to report the incident Feb. 20. The woman said a police officer seized her driver’s license Feb. 19, saying records showed it had been canceled.

The woman then visited the Department of Motor Vehicles, where she was told her driver’s license was canceled because a person with the same name and birthdate obtained a license in Florida.

The woman told officers her credit had been locked since November because of fraud.

Kermit Roosevelt speaks to family’s divided roots

By HANNAH YAHNE hannah@appenmedia.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — In one of many events scheduled by Roswell to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, Kermit Roosevelt, great-great grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, spoke March 1, reflecting on his family’s Southern roots.

Kermit is a constitutional law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and author. His recent book, “The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America’s Story,” was published in 2022.

More than 100 people engaged with Kermit’s retelling of Theodore’s life and legacy as the 26th president of the United States, which emphasized his parent’s influence.

Theodore’s mother, Martha “Mittie” Bulloch was born in Roswell’s Bulloch Hall in 1835 and was described by Kermit as “a classic Southern belle.” Growing up in Roswell, Mittie was a strong supporter of the Confederacy and remained “entirely un-reconstructed,” until she died, Theodore wrote in his autobiography.

Kermit Roosevelt speaks on his family’s Southern roots and the legacy of his great-great grandfather Theodore Roosevelt at a Roswell America250 event March 1.

said. “So, instead, TR goes west and he remakes himself as a cowboy in the Dakotas.”

Nature proved healing for Theodore, and he developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors and learning to live in nature. He often said, “I would not have become president if not for my time in the Dakotas.”

Kermit takes the former president at his word, saying he thinks without his time in nature, Theodore would not have been an environmentalist and creator of the National Parks System.

His time in the Dakotas, embracing danger, physical challenges, and eventually war, was Theodore’s attempt to redeem his father through his own example. Theodore Roosevelt Sr. didn’t fight in the Civil War at Mittie’s request, and that impacted their son.

“[Theodore’s] rise is really affected by this need to compensate,” Kermit said, “and to redeem what he saw as a shortcoming in his father’s life.”

thanks to his Northern and Southern roots.

Theodore’s father was an active supporter of the Union during the Civil War as his mother committed treason supporting the Confederacy, yet his parents remained united in marriage.

“Part of me wants to say … we can learn from that like Theodore Roosevelt did, that you can have a relationship that is above politics,” Kermit said.

However, Kermit said this idea of putting politics aside and uniting as Americans around our shared values is more complicated than that.

“Historically, our moments of unity are not really aways people putting their differences aside and coming together,” Kermit said. “Sometimes there are moments where one side kind of gives up on its principles because unity is more important.”

National unity

“TR is made of somewhat different stuff, and he doesn’t break,” Kermit

The death of both parents had a powerful influence on Theodore’s life, Kermit said. His father died while Theodore was at Harvard. In 1884, Theodore’s mother and his wife both died Valentine’s Day in 1884 – two days after the birth of Theodore’s first child.

Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901 after the assassination of President William McKinley. When Theodore ran in the election of 1904, he saw himself as a representation of the entire nation

The United States needs to make more of a choice about who we are as a nation before we can expect to unite over shared values, he said. Some believe that America dedicated itself to certain values at the founding that are stated in the Declaration of Independence and that will tell us what it means to be a true American.

Alpharettan marks her 102nd birthday

By HANNAH YAHNE hannah@appenmedia.com

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — On March 15, Alpharetta resident Rita Simmons turned 102 years old, keeping her title as the oldest resident at The Addison of Alpharetta.

Born in 1924, Simmons lived most of her life in Massachusetts and moved to Georgia in 2013 to be closer to one of her two daughters.

Her family has expanded to include six grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

There’s a pattern of family living into their 90s and beyond. Six of Simmons’ siblings lived into their 90s, and the oldest turns 104 the day after she does.

“I try to take care of myself,” Simmons said. “I try to eat right. I don’t exercise, but I move a lot.”

Simmons learned about life by living it, she said. She didn’t graduate from high school but participated in vocational school while taking care of her

four younger siblings.

One of the most memorable moments of Simmons’ life was when she came home from school at age 10 and her seventh sibling was born. She took care of the baby and became a second mom to her youngest sibling.

Simmons married her husband of 77 years, George, after he finished serving in the Navy during World War II. When he was abroad, George would hint at when he would be coming home by referencing The Andrews Sisters’ song, “I’ll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time.”

“He said, ‘That song was written for us,’” Simmons said. It references a wedding in May, and the Simmons were married on May 12, 1945.

Simmons’ two-day birthday celebration began on her birthday with many family members and old friends on March 15. The following day, the community at The Addison of Alpharetta celebrated Simmon’s first full day of being 102.

Dan & Company Studios swings into 56 years of teaching dance

By DYANA BAGBY dyana@appenmedia.com

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The song “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from the musical “Annie” plays in the studio as a dozen barefoot children in shorts and leotards line up in front of large mirrors.

At the back of the studio, Peter Tucci instructs the tiny dancers to leap, point and crouch as he performs the steps himself. The children follow his lead, smiling, giggling and moving together.

It’s just a normal day at Dan & Company Studios, where children have learned to dance for 56 years.

The school, one of the oldest businesses in Dunwoody, recently moved to its new location at 5501 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Ste. B in the Dunwoody Village shopping center, just a few doors down from its previous home.

Founded in 1971 by Dan and Ronda Youmans, the studio is now owned and operated by their daughter, Tina Youmans Hidalgo.

“My parents started this studio … and it was their baby,” she said while seated in the studio’s lobby.

“I grew up at the studio. A lot of our instructors grew up dancing here and moved away to dance professionally, then ended up back in Atlanta and now teach for us,” she said. “We have a lot of third generations now, dancing and teaching.”

Hidalgo was a professional dancer with Walt Disney World and traveled the country. She moved back to Atlanta and was an instructor and choreographer at Dan & Company for many years. She took over administrative duties during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When her father died in 2022, she made it her goal to keep the studio going. The company’s logo is now her father’s image in a dance pose painted on the wall of the largest studio.

“My father had a real passion for dancing and this school. I want to keep the legacy going,” she said.

The studio offers classes in ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop and tap for students as young as 3. Students can choose dance competitively or recreationally.

For those interested in pursuing a professional dancing career, Dan & Company is home to the Atlanta Jazz Theatre Company, a program devoted entirely to the study and performance of jazz dance — which has nothing to do with jazz music. The form became popular in the United States in the early 20th century and can be used to describe the choreographies of Bob Fosse, Gene Kelly and Debbie Allen.

Jenna Rego, 18, a senior at Mount Vernon School in Sandy Springs, has been studying dance at Dan & Company since she was 3. She works part time at the front desk and is auditioning for the Georgia Tech dance team in April.

“I definitely want to dance in college,” she said.

Hidalgo said Rego is a good example of many students who come to Dan & Company.

“A lot of these kids we have raised,” Hidalgo said.

Tucci, the instructor, is another former student.

Tucci learned dance from Hidalgo, then went to New York City where he danced professionally including performances in “Grease” in Berlin and “Peter Pan” in London. He also danced in music videos and with singer-songwriter Fiona Apple.

He returned to Metro Atlanta three years ago and said he likes teaching because he wants to pass on the skills and enjoyment he learned from dancing.

“Working with kids and seeing what dance has provided allows me to see what Dan & Company provided for me as a child,” he said. “I remember being taught you can’t keep what you don’t give away.”

Even if students don’t want to be professional dancers, they have a place at Dan & Company, Hidalgo said.

“We want this to be a happy place for them … their getaway,” she said.

She hopes the studio is around for many more generations to teach dance and instill in new students a passion for expression and discipline.

“I feel like we’ve been able to create the same sentiment about dance over and over and over,” Hidalgo said.

“It’s important to me to keep that same feeling that my parent’s started, about how special this studio is and how we really go above and beyond to make sure our instructors are the best we can find,” she said.

Hamilton becomes new head coach of Hooch football

By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Chattahoochee High School hosted a meet session March 4 for its new head football coach Austin Hamilton.

An internal hire, Hamilton previously served as the co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach before getting the lead job. In his presentation to parents, he said they may recognize him, but he looks forward to getting to know them more now that he has the reins to run the program.

The main focuses of the presentation were “The Hooch Way” of pride, respect and integrity and working in effort, attitude and toughness.

He said four aspects where coaches, players and parents will work together are innovation, communication, connection and being a dynamic program where they are energetic, driven, flexible and action-oriented.

His presentation slides detailed shifting the program from a “fear-driven” to “purpose-driven.”

“Right now, my goal is not to even look at wins and losses,” Hamilton said. “My goal is to jut build a foundation… and I think the wins and losses will come when that happens.”

He provided the analogy of “always being green,” like a ripening banana, and he aims to position his team to not stop growing and turn yellow and brown.

Hamilton said the last two weeks have been

filled with strengthening the community’s buyin. The program has planned several events this month and next to improve skills and morale.

They will hold a quarterback camp later this month, bringing in a trainer who has worked with Patrick Mahomes, to boost quarterback prospects at Hooch.

Chattahoochee alum D.J. Avery, a Georgia State wide receiver, will return to his alma mater April 25 to host the first annual “Cougar Combine” where players will get a chance to get their metrics recorded.

Chattahoochee Athletic Director Chris Short said before deciding on who to hire, the administration polled families on what they liked and what they wanted to see change. One name continually rose with mentions of his commitment to players and a student-first mentality.

“Obviously, it was Coach Hamilton,” he said. “His commitment to Hooch family, alumni, our history, all of that is what we’re really excited for the future.”

Hamilton won two GHSA state championships as a player at Grayson High School. His first coaching job was at South Forsyth High School, where he was an assistant football coach and head coach of girls and boys track and field. From there, he was hired at Chattahoochee.

He said athletics aside, his primary goal in being a head coach is to make every player who is touched by the program a better person by the end of their time at Chattahoochee.

Milton girls advance to first title game

By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com

ATLANTA — Milton girls basketball outlasted Coffee’s comeback attempt in the Final Four, ending a 25-game win streak with a 59-48 match for the Eagles to advance to the final game of the season.

The Eagles will be appearing in their first ever title game. Last season, Milton tied their deepest playoff run when they fell in the Final Four to eventual champs River Ridge.

Against Coffee, Milton extended their initial lead from five points after the first quarter to 12 at the half. The Trojans came back to the third quarter with a renewed energy, slowly building momentum to the fourth quarter where they outscored Milton 24-19.

The final frame was back-and-forth, the lead getting down to just two at one point. Two trips to the charity stripe and one lay-up later, the lead was 52-45 with just under a minute to go.

That’s when sophomore Grace Musselman made a statement with her third 3-pointer of the game. When a forward drove and kicked the ball out to the corner, Musselman was there to sink a contested 3-pointer. With less than a minute left and all momentum pointing toward the Eagles, Coffee’s only points afterward came at the free-throw line.

Musselman said she was still “paying [her] dues” last year at the Final Four, only getting into the game in the final minute. This year, she started and made her impact jump off the page.

Milton junior Deyva Davis takes a free throw from the charity stripe at the Georgia State University Convocation Center March 6. Davis posted 11 points and scored her 1,000th point of her career in the Final Four game against Coffee.

She said the Final Four win was what the team has been working for all season.

“Everyone on our team works really hard and I’m proud of them,” Musselman said. “I’m really excited to keep running hard and pushing for Macon.”

The assist on the game-sealing basket came from senior Caroline Young. She will be the only player on the Eagles roster lost to graduation this May. Her freshman year marked the beginning of a program turnaround.

Last year, Young was named to the Georgia Basketball Coaches Association All-State team.

Prior to Young’s freshman season, the team had won seven games in five seasons.

Since the 2023-2024 season, the team hasn’t won less than 24 games each year and brought home back-toback-to-back region championships.

Milton head coach Triston Cooper gave all the credit for making it to the title game to the players. He said it was a surreal moment to win in the Final Four in his first year as a head coach.

“I couldn’t be more grateful to the admin, couldn’t be more grateful for these girls and their families that have entrusted me to coach them,” he said. “The future’s bright for this program, I can tell you that.”

The Eagles were set to face off against Creekview for the GHSA 5A state championship at the Macon Coliseum March 13, after this edition went to press.

Milton fans get loud after a made 3-pointer by Grace Musselman that sealed the 5A semi-final game for the Eagles March 6. Coffee was on a 25-game winning streak before Milton bested them 59-48.

Mayor affirms East Roswell Park as fire station relocation site

By HANNAH YAHNE hannah@appenmedia.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — East Roswell residents went home disappointed March 3 after city officials said they remain committed to relocating Fire Station No. 27 to East Roswell Park.

Around 50 people, most dressed in green, attended the public information forum at the East Roswell Recreation Center. They appealed to the mayor and City Council to preserve the park and find another location for the fire station. Many held posters reading, “Save our parks.” One woman’s sign read, “I moved to Parkside Lane, not Fire Station Lane.”

However, hopes withered at the outset when Mayor Mary Robichaux’s opening comments explicitly stated the city is moving forward with plans to relocate the station 3.5 miles west from its current location at the eastern edge of the city to the park at Fouts Road.

“I understand that’s very disappointing to … almost all of you in this room,” Robichaux said. “It does require us as the leaders to balance those competing priorities.”

City staff have discussed relocating Fire Station No. 27 to a more central location in East Roswell since a 2022 gap analysis identified a disparity in station locations throughout the city.

When Roswell voters approved a $52 million public safety bond that same year, initial planning and site evaluations started.

A site analysis identified the intersection of Holcomb Bridge Road and Fouts Road as the ideal site for a new fire station to decrease response times and help manage call volume. Three sites were identified and evaluated based on price, land size and roadway access.

Based on results, the site at 9135 Fouts Road, which is part of East Roswell Park and next to the East Roswell Public Library, was the top recommendation. The site is directly across the street from four townhomes in the Parkside subdivision.

Other site locations included a commercial building at 2342 Holcomb Bridge Road and a church at the corner of Holcomb Bridge Road and Fouts Road next to Parkside townhomes.

Deputy City Adminiztrator of Infrastructure Sharon Izzo explained that moving the station to one of those sites would come with a heavy price tag and a year-long extension in the project’s timeline. Construction on the 5-acre site in East Roswell Park is expected to finish in May 2028.

Roswell has already invested $700,000 in design costs on the Fouts

Road site and will move forward on completing design plans. Izzo said there are opportunities to improve the façade of the fire station and landscaping on the site.

Staff expect to place the project out for bid in the fall and begin construction early 2027.

A fight from residents

A group of residents present March 3, mainly from the Parkside and Twelvestones subdivisions on Fouts Road, have actively opposed the site selection since a December public information forum on the topic.

A community advocacy group launched protecteastroswellpark. org to keep residents informed on the issue and has nearly 1,300 signatures on a petition urging city officials to reconsider.

On the 5 acres of green space to be turned into a fire station, 221 trees will be impacted, which multiple residents raised concern with.

“There’s a fair bit of disturbance and we are going to lose a number of trees,” Izzo said. “But there’s going to be a vigorous replanting plan that’ll come along with that as we get into the final design stage.”

Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Director Steven Malone said the city attempts to plant more trees than are disturbed during projects, and the city is continuing to invest in East Roswell Park.

Malone emphasized ongoing coordination with the Roswell Disc Golf Club to ensure the three disc golf holes

that will be impacted are reconfigured and remain operational throughout construction.

“There’s a lot coming on the horizon for what this park will see over the next 18 to 24 months,” Malone said.

Approximately $45,000 has been identified for disc golf course reconfigurations and updates, which is the first city funding allocated toward the course since its creation, according to Scott Walker, secretary of the Roswell Disc Golf Club.

“Anything that’s been done in the way of course maintenance, clean up, aside from mowing, has pretty much been volunteer labor … or at least funded by the club,” Walker said.

While residents say they understand the need to relocate the fire station, they expressed disappointment in the lack of transparency throughout the site decision process. One resident said it seemed the decision had been made before residents could offer input.

“It sounds like our last chance is in the rear-view mirror,” he said. “A little disappointed to find that out as I get here.”

Newly elected officials who were not on the City Council when decisions on the relocation progressed agreed, saying the city needs to improve its process of notifying neighborhoods before any project comes to a vote.

“I do believe that the communication model was not the best it should have been throughout this entire process,” Mayor Robichaux said. “All I can do now is make a commitment that we will do better moving forward.”

The historic issue

One resident asked the council to consider the value of existing park land when making future decisions.

“I don’t want to see the gradual erosion of green spaces and park spaces in the name of cheapest, and fastest, even public safety,” he said.

Roswell does have a complicated history with taking park land to complete other projects. East Roswell Park specifically has been the subject multiple times, beginning with construction of the East Roswell Branch Library.

“At least twice we’ve had to undertake fairly significant reworking of one or more holes on the course as a result of the city deciding to make some other use of that area,” Walker said about the disc golf course.

The decision to relocate a fire station onto city-owned park land mirrors a proposal made in 2012 when faced with replacing Fire Station No. 4.

“This is not unprecedented,” Walker said. “We have been through exactly this same scenario a decade and a half ago with Fire Station 24.”

The City Council at the time proposed using land from Big Creek Park because it was cost efficient. They were met with a petition that had more than 700 signatures and, eventually, got property next to Kings Market to build Fire Station No. 24.

“I see our little park here in East Roswell getting smaller and smaller,” resident Patsy Van Pelt said. “Nothing that anyone has said makes me think they won’t do it again.”

Roswell approves parking fees for downtown street

By HANNAH YAHNE hannah@appenmedia.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — In a 4-2 vote, the City Council has decided to start charging for parking in downtown Roswell to coincide with the completion of the Green Street parking deck in May.

The measure occupied hours of debate March 9 with 14 public speakers coming to the podium to share their opinions, each followed by applause from the audience.

“This proposed parking plan does nothing to make Canton Street better, more vibrant or more accessible,” resident Bill Ray said.

Multiple business owners spoke to the City Council, saying that implementing paid parking downtown adds an undue burden to small businesses. They worry that adding a parking expense will deter customers instead of incentivizing them to spend more at Roswell businesses, which would result in more sales tax revenue for the city.

“Other cities around have figured out how to offer free parking,” business owner and resident Ryan Pernice said. “We should be able to do that as well as everyone around us further invests in their downtown corridor.”

Parking at the Green Street deck will be free for customers on weekdays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Otherwise, it will operate with dynamic pricing, with rates on weekday evenings at $3 an hour. Daytime parking on weekends will run $2.50 an hour, with prices jumping by a dollar in the evening.

On-street parking along Canton Street, Elizabeth Way and West Alley will transition to a full-time dynamic pricing model, no longer allowing a couple of hours of free parking.

Implementing parking policies for City Hall and Cultural Arts Center are on hold until the Hillrose deck is completed in 18 months.

Pernice earned applause from the audience when he said it seems Roswell is bending over backwards to accommodate the Hillrose Market.

“I really wish we’d spent the same attention or a fraction of the time supporting the businesses that have been here already,” Pernice said.

Hillrose Market project

A major factor in removing free parking areas in downtown Roswell is that financing for the Hillrose project relies on revenue from the 350-spot parking deck being constructed for the Hillrose Market. An additional 159 spaces will be on-street parking and in the City Hall parking lot, which are a part of the city’s “fee-for-parking” plan to pay for the deck.

If there were free parking spaces on the street or in the City Hall lot, the financing structure for Hillrose would fail.

“The downtown parking has to work together as a system,” Deputy City Administrator of Community Services Jeff Leatherman said. “…Really, it’s about the system of downtown parking and how you provide parking in the downtown corridor that needs to be looked at holistically.”

The parking issue grew complex at last year’s groundbreaking of the Green Street parking deck nearing completion on the corner of Ga. 9 and Green Street when former Mayor Kurt Wilson announced the deck would be free for Roswell residents.

“The challenge is that we did not model that specific policy decision … so we didn’t know the fiscal impacts,” Leatherman said.

Differentiating customers of the parking deck by their

residency would cost the city an estimated $100,000 annually to manage that database.

Total expenses for the parking deck are estimated at nearly $800,000 annually, half of it going toward operations. Roswell has already dedicated more than $376,000 of its general fund budget in 2026 to ensure it can fulfill those payments with the deck opening in May.

Even with pay-to-park policies, Roswell will face an estimated $200,000 revenue shortfall by offering free parking during select hours on weekdays. That shortfall will likely be compensated through the general fund.

“We have not solved the revenue/expense number all the way,” Leatherman said.

Roswell will analyze utilization rates of the Green Street parking deck through the end of the year to determine appropriate hourly pricing.

If the city wants the best opportunity to hit their budgeted revenues, it must start generating revenue at the Green Street deck when it opens in May, Leatherman said.

Council members had various opinions on the issue.

Councilwoman Eren Brumley said Roswell should have never entered the parking business. But Councilwoman Christine Hall said the problem is not unique to Roswell, and other North Fulton cities are having these same discussions.

“We’re not going to make everybody happy,” Hall said. “We’re making the best-informed decision…”

Other meeting items

Also at the March 9 meeting, the City Council approved for Roswell’s Public Facilities Authority (PFA) to issue bonds totaling $13.2 million to finance a roof replacement at City Hall, improvements to the public safety headquarters and purchasing technology for the Green Street parking deck.

The PFA presents an opportunity for the city to

achieve lower cost financing for public facility projects that relate to public safety, parking and parks.

Chief Financial Officer Bill Godshall recommended that the city accepts bid proposal from Webster Bank, which financed a PFA offering last year. It offered a 20-year rate that makes annual payments approximately $173,000 less than other proposals, which takes pressure off the general fund.

A conditional use permit and variance request to place a QuikTrip at 1050 Holcomb Bridge Road was approved. The 3.1-acre site will transform the existing Red Lobster into a 6,000-square-foot convenience store with gas pumps.

Council members approved a rewrite of Roswell’s Code of Ethics that changes the manner through with ethics complaints are processed. Instead of being submitted to the mayor, or the mayor pro-tem if the mayor is the subject, ethics complaints will now be be given to the city clerk and passed to the city administrator. Currently, the city has a board of 14 residents that hear ethics complaints.

“Inherently, right from the jump you have people on the Board of Ethics who are sitting in judgement of the people who have appointed them,” Assistant City Attorney Joseph Cusack said. “So, there is an apparent sort of conflict if you will.”

Now, five unbiased attorneys will deem if the complaint meets criteria to proceed. They would investigate and present findings to the City Council for their decision on the ethics complaint.

The Unified Development Code was also amended to add definitions for “computer or data processing” and “data and digital storage center.” Planning and Zoning Director Jeannie Peyton said the updates will no longer allow for potential misunderstandings of what is allowed within Roswell’s development code.

OK, so we know that Bezos created Amazon based on a core idea – time –making buying stuff faster, easier and more convenient. That is, saving us time.

I just reordered some vitamins from Amazon. It took me probably less than 2 minutes. I’ll have those today – probably early afternoon. I ordered some other meds last week – melatonin – to help me sleep. I ordered the wrong ones. I pulled up my order and clicked on the refund button. It asked me to select the “why” I thought I should get a refund. I did. The automated response informed me that a credit would go on my account within 10 days. I was not asked to return the order. I did not have to endure speaking to “customer service” in India reading off a script – repeating the policy, word by word, over and over. I was not made to document anything. I was not harassed. I was not told “I have to ask my manager.” Three minutes. No hassle. You

think I am going to keep doing business with Amazon?

Yes, I understand that Amazon knows it is cheaper for them to manage issues like this in this manner – sure. But Amazon also knows the long-term value of a respected and happy customer as well. Amazon views spending the money to respect their customer’s time as a literal investment – no different than buying a stock or a piece of real estate.

You would think that as successful as Amazon has become, that every business on the planet would be laser focused on his idea – that people value their time.

Not. In fact, I suggest that our time is probably the least valued of everything we possess – by business in general. Our time is our most prized possession. Why would business treat our time as it has a value of $0?

Long waits

Lots of examples come to mind. Anyone been to a medical office that hasn’t ended up waiting – and waiting and waiting? How about those service guys who told you they would be there at 1:00 and show up after 2 or 3 and can’t understand why you are upset?

How long have you been put on hold with a big company over an issue that was their fault – not yours?

Most big banks – not all – and their best friends, the credit card companies, rank high in the “your time to us has no value” world. So much of that banking world is structured around systems and processes that minimize labor; maximize customer inconvenience; maximize charges for just about everything; and are literally designed to consume and destroy your most valuable asset – your precious time.

Respect for another’s time seems to go hand and hand with personal connection – how you treat others – I think. They are related. If one doesn’t value and respect the other person – their needs, their wants, there standing as a mother, dad, son, daughter, neighbor, or friend – one doesn’t respect or make time for them.

Why would you honk your horn at that car in front of you driven a bit slowly by someone’s older grandfather or perhaps a new driver unsure of themself? What if it was your relative? Why would you get frustrated waiting in line at the grocery store by that lady trying to find her coupons so she can save a couple cents off her grocery bill,

cents she needs because she can barely pay rent? Why would you allow your blood pressure to explode because you are angered by someone who does or says something that you don’t agree with or favor?

Why? Because you don’t respect them. Because you forget. Because you didn’t remember how difficult it was for your parent when they grew too old to deal with little day-to-day challenges of life, or you forgot what it was like to be broke and struggling.

Adjusting behavior

Yes, you are kind and compassionate when it is convenient – when you are inspired. And you support your church and profess faith once a week. But that doesn’t really count so much. You need to be that way all the time –because that is who you are. You need to respect yourself first to respect others. You need to lead and realize that it is exactly your leadership that makes the world a little bit better – that sets the example for others to follow so they too can step up and respect others, including their time, their standing, their place in your world.

OPINION

Recalling state’s cruel past of exploiting convict labor

VALERIE BIGGERSTAFF Columnist

One year after the Civil War ended, the Georgia General Assembly legalized the leasing of prisoners to individuals and businesses. Convict leasing allowed the cruelties of slavery to continue. (georgiaencylopedia.org)

Douglas Blackmon’s Pulitzer Prize winning book, “Slavery by Another Name: The Reenslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II,” focuses on Alabama convict camps but includes Atlanta camps. Some of the oldest neighborhoods, buildings and businesses in Atlanta have ties to these camps and have benefited from convict labor.

The author describes how convict labor camps and later chain gangs were used to arrest and imprison men, especially Black men, for minor and sometimes arbitrary charges, then forcing them into labor.

Women also became part of this system. The first all-female convict labor camp was built in Atlanta in 1885. The women made bricks for the construction of an almshouse next door to the camp. There were Black and White women in the camp, with a much larger number of Black women. Women could be arrested for arguing or cursing in public.

In the Atlanta area and beyond, there were West, East, Sandy Springs, Roseland and River Camps. Later there were the Bellwood and McPherson camps.

Georgia Senator Felder introduced a bill to stop convict leasing. It would abolish the prison commission and replace it with a board of seven directors appointed by the governor. The directors would manage the state penitentiary going forward. (Atlanta Georgian, Aug. 10, 1908, “To abolish the Georgia prison commission and to put an end to lease system, Felder introduces comprehensive bill”)

Charles Murphey Candler wrote the legislation which ended the convict lease system. The bill that passed made leasing convicts to individuals and businesses illegal, but their labor could still be used for government work. This included work in rock quarries, road building and other government projects. Convict leasing was replaced with the chain gang.

The Sandy Springs camp was located at the southwest corner of Roswell Road and Hammond Drive. There was a rock quarry nearby along today’s Sandy Springs Circle. There was also a quarry at

Lake Forrest Drive and one on PeachtreeDunwoody Road. (“Images of America: Sandy Springs,” by Kimberly Brigance and Morris V. Moore)

Richard Adams shared his memory of a chain gang working on the road in front of his childhood home.

“Once each year, the county would provide manual convict labor to work the road,” he recalled. “They all had white striped suits and some of them with a ball and chains around their legs. There were a number of guards armed with high power rifles or shot guns. The convicts were given water from the family well.”

Adams’ family farm was on Old Lawrenceville Road, also known as County Line Road and included land in both DeKalb and Milton Counties. Today, that road is Dunwoody Club Drive. (Richard Adams memoir, DeKalb History Center archives)

A camp was built on Powers Ferry Road in 1916, an “experimental convict road camp” in Fulton County. Not surprisingly, the experiment found that “cleanliness, comfort and humanity in the convict camp are not inconsistent with economy and efficiency in the work of the inmates.” These convicts worked on Powers Ferry and Heards Ferry roads.

Another convict camp was located near Chastain Park, where West Wieuca Road and Roswell Road meet. There were two camps, one for Black inmates and one for White inmates. There was another rock quarry near Peachtree Dunwoody Road and I-285. Granite was used for curbs and roads and in parts of Chastain Park.

Convict leasing was used to prepare Piedmont Park for the 1887 Piedmont Exposition. Chain gangs performed much of the road and sewer work along roads we still use today. (Archive Atlanta, podcast by Victoria Lemos)

The Sandy Springs camp closed in 1933, and the prisoners were relocated to other camps. The cost of maintaining the location had become too high. There were 987 prisoners in Fulton County camps at that time. (Atlanta Constitution, Nov. 12, 1933, “County will abandon Sandy Springs camp”)

Media coverage and an investigation into the abuse and harsh conditions of chain gang camps led to their end. Gov. Ellis Arnall abolished them in 1943.

Fulton County’s 2026 budget cares for community

Fulton County cares. Not in headlines or hashtags, but through steady, thoughtful work that strengthens communities, supports our most vulnerable neighbors, and respects the taxpayers who make that work possible. For residents of North Fulton, this approach not only benefits our community directly, but also reflects a broader commitment across Fulton County to results, not rhetoric .

Every budget season, countless hours are spent reviewing programs, meeting with department leaders and asking hard questions about what is working and what needs improvement. What I see is a county that takes its responsibility seriously by investing in people, prioritizing proven solutions, and maintaining a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility.

To me, caring is not defined by how much government spends; it’s defined by whether our investments solve problems. It means coordinating services, partnering with trusted nonprofit organizations, measuring outcomes and adjusting course when necessary. It means protecting families who are struggling while also protecting homeowners and small businesses from unnecessary tax burdens.

That philosophy shapes how Fulton County approaches housing stability, public health, nonprofit support and essential services — countywide services that North Fulton residents benefit from alongside their neighbors in South Fulton, Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta and beyond.

Results through partnerships

Partnership with nonprofits is a cornerstone of how Fulton County delivers results, proving that it really isn’t all about the amount of money invested, but the intentionality and impact of that investment.

In 2025, Fulton County’s Community Services Program (CSP) awarded $5.3 million in contracts to 160 nonprofit partners across six service categories, including children and youth services, economic stability and poverty, health and wellness, homelessness, disabilities and senior services.

Among these trusted partners, many serving North Fulton and countywide, are:

• North Fulton Community Charities (essential services and basic needs support)

• The Drake House (family homelessness support)

• Community Action Center (CAC) (education and economic stability)

• Chattahoochee Nature Center (environmental education and enrichment, including summer camp experiences for hundreds of children) — through Fulton County support, hundreds of children benefit from summer programming and nature education opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

These partnerships reflect a practical, results-driven approach: working with trusted local organizations to deliver targeted services, maximize impact, and strengthen community support networks without duplicating efforts or creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Housing stability

Fulton County works closely with Partners for Home through a coordinated, regional system that focuses on what is often described as a threelegged stool: housing, services, and stability.

While many housing dollars come from federal and state sources, Fulton County’s primary role is providing the wraparound services that make housing successful. That means funding mental health care, substance use treatment, case management, employment support and ongoing stabilization services so individuals and families can remain housed long term. A roof alone is not enough. Housing only works when it is paired with the supports people need to stay on their feet.

In the current fiscal year, the county is investing millions in housing and homelessness services. Through this coordinated system, 1,345 households receive homelessness prevention or housing assistance annually, and 46 percent of individuals placed into permanent supportive housing remain stably housed one year later. That is not accidental; it’s the result of evidence-based strategies focused on long-term stability.

County efforts also include funding for permanent supportive housing services and a recent restoration of $2.1 million in the final fiscal year 2026 budget to support wraparound services tied to supportive housing units.

Public health, behavioral health

Fulton County’s holistic view of public health includes countywide investments in community health centers, maternal and infant health, HIV/AIDS services, disease prevention,

primary care, and robust behavioral health funding.

In fiscal year 2026, the county is investing over $157 million toward Health and Human Services as a strategic priority, funding that supports prevention, wellness, education, and connections to care for residents across all Fulton communities.

Behavioral health is a signature success. Programs delivered through a trusted provider network served thousands of children and adults in 2025 with free, high-quality care, helping reduce strain on emergency systems and improve long-term outcomes.

In the fiscal year 2026 budget alone, Fulton County is investing $24.5 million in behavioral health, including $4.8 million specifically for wraparound mental health services that support permanent supportive housing. That single behavioral health investment is six times greater than what Gwinnett, Cobb and DeKalb counties spend combined.

These investments reduce strain on emergency systems, improve health outcomes, and save taxpayer dollars in the long run.

Approach to public safety

Fulton County is working toward a modernized jail facility that will include a dedicated mental health treatment component with approximately 1,300 beds, reflecting recognition that many individuals in the justice system need treatment, not just incarceration.

Fulton County’s Pre-Arrest Diversion (PAD) program embodies compassionate, fiscally responsible public safety reform. Since 2017, approximately 6,000 individuals have been provided services instead of cycling through the traditional justice system, connecting people to treatment and community support rather than incarceration.

PAD not only changes lives, but also saves taxpayer dollars by reducing costs associated with jail, court, and emergency responses.

New Health & Human Services site

North Fulton residents have long had to travel across the county to access a patchwork of services. That changes this spring.

The new Health & Human Services campus at 4700 North Point Parkway, opening in my district, will consolidate many essential services in one convenient location.

The new facility will offer all the services currently provided at the 10 Park Place Health Center on Royal Drive, including: primary medical

care for adults and children; preventive care and wellness screenings; immunizations; women’s health and family planning services; STI, HIV, and tuberculosis testing and treatment; chronic disease management; and community health education and outreach.

In addition, the North Fulton campus will introduce two important service expansions: Vital Records services, allowing residents to access birth and death certificates locally, and expanded Senior Services, including an Adult Day program and multiservice supports designed to help older adults remain active, connected, and independent.

On the same property, a Behavioral Health Crisis Center is planned to further expand access to urgent mental health and stabilization services, a critical addition that underscores Fulton County’s focus on both prevention and crisis response.

Seniors, veterans, the vulnerable Fulton County serves tens of thousands of older adults each year through senior centers, home-delivered meals, transportation assistance, caregiver support, and in-home services that allow residents to age safely and with dignity.

In fiscal year 2026, the county has also dedicated $250,000 specifically to veterans housing, along with funding for employment support, benefits navigation, and mental health care.

Stewardship without broad tax hikes

All of this is done while maintaining stable millage rates and avoiding broad property tax increases. Fulton County has demonstrated that it is possible to care deeply about people while also being disciplined with public dollars. Being compassionate does not require being careless. True stewardship means accountability, transparency, and thoughtful prioritization.

Caring is measured in impact

Caring isn’t performative. It isn’t measured by how loudly we talk about problems. It is measured by whether we take the time to understand them and build solutions that last.

Fulton County’s work may not always be flashy, but it makes a real difference every day. I am proud of the progress we are making, honest about the challenges that remain, and committed to continuing the responsible, people-centered work of building a county where everyone, including the residents of North Fulton, has the opportunity to thrive.

OPINION

Fulton County Schools should matter to us all

MIKE LOONEY Futon County Schools Superintendent

Imagine sitting in a small elementary classroom, holding a picture book while a group of young students leans forward, eyes wide, hanging on every word. Their laughter fills the room. Their questions come quickly and honestly. For a few minutes, nothing matters more than the story you are sharing.

Moments like that remind us that our schools are not just buildings or bus routes or calendar dates. They are places where curiosity is sparked, confidence is built, and the next generation begins to discover who they are.

Whether you currently have a child in school or your children graduated years ago, Fulton County Schools still belong to you. They are part of the fabric of our community. The success of nearly 90,000 students shapes the future we will all share.

Strong schools help create stable neighborhoods and a thriving local economy. It is well established that communities with strong public schools attract families and support healthy property values, protecting the investment many residents have made in their homes. At the same time, our schools serve as hubs for athletics, the arts, and civic gatherings that bring neighbors together and foster a strong sense of belonging. They prepare the future doctors, engineers, teachers, and entrepreneurs who will become the workforce that sustains our region.

Mortgage rates drifted modestly lower this week, with the average 30-year fixed settling near 5.99 percent, typically accompanied by 0.50–0.75 discount points. Yes, that technically places us below the psychologically stubborn 6 percent threshold. No, this is not yet the confetti moment. A sustained move meaningfully below 6 percent — not a cameo appearance — is what would likely ignite the next meaningful surge in home sales activity.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury, the bond market’s north star for mortgage pricing, is currently hovering near 4.05 percent, modestly improved from last week’s 4.07 percent highs. For perspective, that’s a

two-basis-point shift. In financial-market terms, that’s less “breakout rally” and more “measured nod of approval.”

From a macroeconomic standpoint, the current rate environment reflects a market searching for conviction. Inflation expectations appear anchored, though not immune to surprise. The labor market is cooling but hardly collapsing. Economic growth is moderating yet remains positive. In short, there is insufficient evidence to justify a dramatic repricing of long-duration bonds — and mortgage rates move accordingly.

We also heard the president’s State of the Union Address, which featured nearly two hours of patriotic applause intervals and what can only be described as bipartisan interval training. While politically animated, the speech introduced little in the way of policy specifics that materially shifted inflation forecasts, fiscal projections, or bond-market expectations. Traders

We recognize that many residents are navigating rising costs and difficult financial decisions. The school district is facing those same economic pressures. In that environment, supporting our schools means strengthening a community asset that benefits us across generations. There are simple and meaningful ways to stay connected:

• Volunteer your time. Schools welcome community members for Career Days, mentoring, or reading with young students. You do not have to be a parent to make a difference.

• Stay informed and show up. Attend a school play, a concert, or a Friday night game. Your presence sends a powerful message that students are supported by more than just their immediate families.

• Support local efforts. From school sup-

ply drives to food pantry collections, small acts of generosity can have a big impact on students and families in your own neighborhood.

Public education works best when it is embraced by the entire community. Our schools do not belong only to the families with students enrolled this year. They belong to all of us.

When our schools succeed, Fulton County shines. Let us continue building a community where education is valued, students feel supported, and every generation understands that investing time and care in our schools is an investment in our shared future.

remained unmoved — cardio notwithstanding.

Of course, markets never operate in a vacuum. Geopolitical developments, commodity price volatility and renewed tariff discussions remain potential catalysts. Tariffs, functionally a tax on imports, carry inflationary implications that bond investors monitor closely. For now, however, these risks remain in the “watch list” category rather than the “panic button” drawer.

Technically speaking, the 10-year Treasury appears comfortable within its current range. A decisive break below 4.00 percent would likely invite incremental buying momentum and modest additional relief in mortgage pricing. Conversely, a sustained move higher would challenge the narrative that inflation pressures are steadily receding.

For the moment, the bond market seems neither euphoric nor alarmed —

just cautiously observant. Inflation has not staged a comeback tour. The economy has not rolled over. And traders, deprived of dramatic data releases, are doing what markets often do in such conditions: consolidating.

So yes, rates have edged to their lowest levels in roughly three years. That matters. But until we see sustained confirmation — in inflation data, employment trends, and Treasury yields — this remains progress, not a parade.

And in the mortgage world, sometimes steady is the victory.

Pantry:

Continued from Page 1

Roswell City Council members Sarah Beeson and Eren Brumley attended the ceremony.

“[The food pantry] provides a muchneeded resource for people in the East Roswell community to have more accessibility, not only to food, but fresh food,” Brumley said.

At the ribbon cutting, Vice President of Operation’s Marten Jallad said the project has been an amazing journey and collaboration between NFCC and Bridge to Grace.

It’s easy for anyone in the North Fulton community to gain assistance from the satellite pantry. Customers can sign up online and will be assigned points corresponding to how many people are in their household.

Food items will be offered at various point values and displayed online

so customers can budget their points.

The pantry offers bread, canned goods, feminine hygiene products, diapers and other necessities. The garden on site will provide fresh produce, one of the food pantry’s top requests.

Jallad said a team of volunteers came together, each utilizing their talents, to make this vision of growing a garden a reality.

Steve Bennett led volunteers in the construction of trellises that will support vining plants like cucumbers and tomatoes. Sandra Girten helps coordinate tending a variety of fresh and seasonal produce that come from Old Rucker Farm, a public garden in Alpharetta.

Girten said it’s fun to see the food they produce given back to the community it grows in.

“It’s a labor of love,” she said.

The East Roswell Food Pantry at Bridge to Grace church is open by appointment only on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m.

“That's how these developers are working to try to reduce the price,” Cook said. “No. 1, it's density where density makes sense.”

In Johns Creek, city officials have faced similar constraints with a scarcity of undeveloped land, Song said. He also agreed density is appropriate in areas suited for it.

“Density is something we have to wrestle with,” he said. “What is the appropriate density for our individual communities? How does it make sense?”

Johns Creek officials recognize the importance of affordable housing for a number of career sectors, particularly those in public safety and essential fields.

Roswell city officials understand affordable housing can contribute diversity to communities, but they also recognize some residents may be opposed to the density it can bring, Peyton said.

“We have to stand in that gap,” she said. “We have to understand the citizens who are wanting to preserve their neighborhoods and not be impacted but also create a growing, vibrant community.”

That’s why public input can be important in the planning process, she said. When city officials understand residents’ concerns, they can better meet their expectations.

“Often … it's not a matter of ‘yes’ or ‘no,’” Peyton said. “It's ‘how can we coexist?’”

Balance has become increasingly important in city planning in North Fulton County as the availability of undeveloped land has shrunk, the three city planners said.

That has led to a greater need for weighing the costs and benefits of every project, they said.

Alpharetta imposes numerous requirements for rental homes, Cook said. The city aims to maintain a ratio of 32 percent rentals to 68 percent for-sale properties. They also require rentals to be attached to a 25-acre mixed-use development.

Additionally, planners will consider whether the property has connectiv -

ity to nearby parks, trails and other recreational assets.

Song said he understands the city will not be able to satisfy every resident every time, but officials can try their best to promote coexistence and

understanding. Public input through meetings and hearings play an important role in that aspect, he said.

“You're not going to satisfy everybody, and we understand that,” he said.

“People were saying this in 1876, the centennial of the Declaration, people are saying this now 250 years after the Declaration,” Kermit said.

However, he outlines two branches of values that can stem from the Declaration of Independence. The first is a dedication to the proposition that all men are created equal, so the government should respect everyone’s rights and treat everyone equally.

Loyal opposition

There’s another meaning to the

Declaration, Kermit said, which outlines a vision of independence.

“It’s saying, if a government strays from its purpose, then the people who created it can reject its authority and start over,” Kermit said.

However, this understanding doesn’t have much to say about how American society should be organized after independence. It does provide some hints, Kermit said, that the government should not interfere with the rights of the people who created it, especially to benefit those who did not.

“There are these two different understandings of the Declaration

of Independence, and they’re very different,” Kermit said. “They support different sides of the Civil War … so I don’t think it’s enough just to say we’re going to come together in the name of the Declaration or the ideals of the founding.”

Theodore once argued that when deciding the purpose of government and its authority, that rulers should listen to the people, not look back in history or to the Declaration of Independence.

“I think that’s right,” Kermit said. “I think that we the people have to decide who we are and what future we want.”

We understand that we are valued only when we solve problems and when we save our clients time and make them money. We get it and try our hardest to stay true to our values.

PLEASE NOTE: The future at Appen Media is significantly determined by how much support we have from you. Each and every one of you make a difference. Our business gets harder every week. We are rapidly moving to a public broadcast business model (reader-supported), so please join our Appen Press Club and invest in your locally sourced local newspaper. Go to AppenMedia.com/join for support options or you can also mail a support check to AppenMedia, Support our Press, 319 North Main Street, Alpharetta, GA 30009.

Sincerely and thank you, Ray Appen

Continued innovation in digital media has changed the ways in which people buy, sell and interact with products and services. It has caused businesses to reassess the ways in which it communicates with potential customers and advertises its products. It has been well documented that these changes have had a destructive impact on local newspapers, which continues to be a primary source for local news, but is no longer a primary source for local advertising dollars – historically the lifeblood for reporters and their coverage. At Appen Media Group we want to address this conflict head on, and build new and innovative approaches to monetizing local news and creating a sustainable future for local journalism in metro Atlanta.

THE APPEN PRESS CLUB

One solution is the creation of a membership driven organization called the Appen Press Club that is dedicated to recruiting people and companies to join as members. Members pay recurring monthly or annual dues that are 100% dedicated to sustainable journalism. By providing predictable revenue, Appen Press Club members and partners help fund the salaries and expenses of local reporters who will no longer be subject to the whims of marketing budgets and an ever changing advertising world. In turn, those reporters will provide the readers they serve with highly researched and qualified journalism focused on subjects that directly affect their quality of life.
