Cumming City Center To Have Amphitheater, Veterans Memorial, More

CUMMING, GA – Mayor Troy Brumbalow recently announced the location of Cumming's new City Center, the creation of which has been a major goal of his since he began his campaign for mayor in 2016.

The Center will abut Forsyth Central High School on approximately 60 acres of a 75-acre plot of land, located just off Canton Highway. The mixed used development will feature a number of retail and restaurant spaces that will be owned by the City and leased to tenants, as well as several possible community areas such as a large amphitheater, miniature golf course, small lake with a fountain, walking trails and green space and a veterans memorial.

Exact plans of the project could change over time based on the topography of the location, and more information will be made public as the project moves forward. Mayor Brumbalow hopes to open the City Center in approximately two years.

A conceptual design of the City Center shows that it will feature a classic 1950's Americana architectural style.
