Historic District Master Plan Open House On Jan. 23

ROSWELL, GA — The city of Roswell will host an open house later this month to allow the public to sneak a peek at a draft of the Historic District Master Plan.

The community can drop by the Council Chambers at Roswell City Hall from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23 to check out the draft and give feedback on the preliminary plan was drafted by TSW Design.

Roswell staff members and TSW Design will be on hand to answer questions and discuss ­the draft, and visual elements, presentations and 3-D modeling will also be made available to the public. The open house will be presented in an informal setting.

The Historic District Master Plan is a preservation-focused initiative for the area along Ga. 9 from just north of the Chattahoochee River to Woodstock Street. It also encompasses Canton Street, a portion of Alpharetta and Norcross streets, Bulloch Avenue, Magnolia Street, Mimosa Boulevard and the streets surrounding the Roswell Mill area.

The master plan "will establish a detailed vision for the district as a sustainable and thriving downtown that protects historic character and resources," Roswell said. It will also recommend possible changes to standards and regulations to support the vision outlined in the document. More information about this project is available on the city's website.
