City kicks off weekly farmers market By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Patrons at the April 20 kick-off of the Sandy Springs Farmers Market perused dozens of vendors on Galambos Way as kids ran around on the City Green. The scenes at City Springs for the inaugural 2024 farmers market also included offerings from the City Bar at the Performing Arts Center, live music from local musicians and arts and crafts activities for children. From now through Nov. 23, Saturday mornings at City Springs
will feature unique vendors at an open-air market with fresh produce and artisan foods. Rain or shine, the farmers market offers visitors the Business Journal’s 2023 Best of Georgia in its produce and local farms category every week, spring through fall. Erin Cianciolo, who took over operations of the market in February 2022, said around 2,000 visitors stopped by City Springs April 20, making it the best opening day in its 14-year history.

The DeKalb PCID approved around $173,000 for a two-year partnership on public safety and technology in the Perimeter district. To enhance overall safety around Perimeter Mall, a Flock Safety system will be deployed, including the use of Falcon license plate readers, a Raven gunshot detection system covering 1 square mile and Condor pan-tilt-zoom cameras. The measures are believed to not only help deter crime but also facilitate rapid response and investigation. Last month, the Dunwoody City Council approved the contract, which sets up a pilot program for the DeKalb PCID to determine the effectiveness of Flock Safety equipment. The city, which has invested in its own surveillance technology in the Perimeter district, does not share the cost of the two-year contract. The partnership leverages stateof-the-art surveillance equipment and cutting-edge technology to enhance monitoring capabilities. Ann Hanlon, executive director of the Perimeter CIDs, manages the
