North Fulton taps into health, senior services Alpharetta building upgrade brings county aid to residents
By HANNAH YAHNE hannah@appenmedia.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Residents in North Fulton County will have access to health services closer to home soon when the county opens its new health and human services operation at 4700 North Point Parkway in Alpharetta. Fulton County has invested $15.4
million since 2019 restoring the facility to offer a range of services under one roof, such as senior services, recovery treatment and behavioral health therapy. The location includes a new neighborhood senior center where residents can take provided transportation to participate in activities, such as art or nutrition classes. Lunch will be provided daily.
Pamela Roshell, Ph.D., chief operating officer for Fulton County, said they know many individuals in the community have adults that they’re caring for at home. That’s why the new building offers adult day services, providing relief for caregivers to rest or prioritize other business for the day.

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Sandy Springs residents will vote in November on whether to give the city power to create special tax districts. On March 25, the Georgia General Assembly approved legislation to put a referendum on the Nov. 3 general election ballot to that will allow Sandy Springs voters to decide if they want the city to have redevelopment powers to create tax allocation districts. Voters will vote yes or no on the referendum that will read: “Shall the Act be approved which authorizes the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia, to exercise all redevelopment powers allowed under the ‘Redevelopment Powers Law,’ as it may be amended from time to time?” TADs are designated areas where local governments freeze property values at their current level for purposes of maintaining roughly the same tax revenue they’re already paying. However, if property values in the district go up, any additional revenue from that increase is set aside and used to improve infrastructure within its boundaries.
