Roswell East Work Session Recast as Town Hall Meeting

There is a meeting on the Roswell East project this Thursday July 19th at 7:30pm in Council Chambers at Roswell City Hall.

It was originally scheduled as a nondescript work session where City Staff would present their findings in a small meeting room in City Hall to an audience consisting mostly of the Mayor and City Council, though the public is generally allowed to come to these meetings too.

This work session has since been recast as a "Town Hall Meeting", presumably by the Mayor who controls this meeting, and it has been publicized to all major Roswell and Atlanta area media outlets, and will now be held in Council Chambers which is the large public meeting room normally reserved for full City Council meetings.

For anyone interested in the Roswell East development for any reason, this is probably a very important meeting to go to.

Although it is being held in Council Chambers, it is still officially a work session as far as we can tell, so the format of the meeting is not entirely clear. The City Staff will certainly still present their report, but beyond that, nothing seems to be set in stone as to format.

Initial reports described the meeting as a presentation of findings by City Staff followed by a presentation or rebuttal by The Pinnacle Companies and/or CRB Realty (the developer and his lobbying firm). Later clarifications indicated anyone who wanted to ask questions, including the developer, could do so, but would be limited to three minutes total time. Further clarifications indicated that the developer may be allowed to speak for more than the three minute limit if so prompted by the Mayor who will ultimately be in charge of the meeting and who can speak and for how long.

The meeting is this Thursday 19 July at 7:30pm in Council Chambers at Roswell City Hall.
