Cultural Center Input Meeting Set For Nov. 29

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Sandy Springs residents who want to weigh in on the possibility of the city taking on a new Cultural Center project are invited to attend a meeting scheduled for this week.

The public visioning session for this possible project will be held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29 in the Studio Theatre at City Springs.

Sandy Springs notes the proposed Cultural Center would go hand-in-hand with the objectives outlined in the 2012 City Center Master Plan. The center would be to "foster creativity and support for arts in the community through education, innovation and collaboration."

According to the city, the potential location would be in the vicinity of Hilderband Drive and Blue Stone Road, east of Sandy Springs Circle and north of Sandy Springs Place.
