1. Have you heard about WellStar's Outpatient and Emergency Clinic proposed at the Providence Road-Roswell Road intersection? WellStar plans to build in residential zoning, and even though it isn't a hospital, the company doesn't have to go through the Zoning Board. How do you feel about the project? Do you think traffic will be congested? Are you concerned about property values?
On Wednesday at the East Cobb Government Services Center at 4400 Lower Roswell Road there will be a 90-minute public meeting to address the project. Are you going?
