Sandy Springs Conservancy rallies community support for path, trail partnerships By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Ann Hanlon, executive director of the Perimeter CIDs, said paths and trails drive up property values. In her keynote address during the Sept. 17 Thought Leaders Dinner at Morgan Falls Overlook Park, Hanlon said trail access is increasingly shaping the future of cities, communities and commercial real estate investments. “These paths connect neighborhoods, parks, business district and transit hubs,” Hanlon said. “If you don’t think that’s true, who wishes that they would have bought property along the Atlanta Beltline about 20 years ago?”

Mayoral candidates set priorities during combative meet-and-greet By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com

Ann Hanlon, executive director of the Perimeter CIDs, speaks on the positive impact of paths and trails on property values at the Sandy Springs Conservancy’s annual Thought Leaders Dinner: “A Springway to the Future.”
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Both Sandy Springs City Council members running for mayor took the opportunity Sept. 15 to attack incumbent Rusty Paul’s 12-year tenure in office. The fourth candidate, 2021 mayoral runnerup Dontaye Carter criticized all three sitting elected officials at a meet-and-greet political forum sponsored by the Huntcliff and Grogan’s Bluff neighborhoods at Elevate City Church. Despite the sometimes combative nature of the discussion, the four mayoral candidates
remained respectful of one another and agreed on many of the issues that define this year’s election on the city’s 20th anniversary of incorporation. While all candidates agreed on the importance of public safety and support of the Sandy Springs Police, there were not any direct questions about Open Records laws or the department’s chase policy – two issues that have drawn local media attention. Election Day is Nov. 4. With four candidates on the ballot for mayor this year, a runoff election Dec. 2 is expected.
