Sandy Springs efforts to create a downtown center took another step forward on Jan. 5. The city announced it is asking for a request for qualifications and a request for information for companies interested in helping the city develop its downtown area.
“The firm selected from this process will be charged with helping the city develop a master plan for the Central Business District, creating a 10-year update to the Downtown Sandy Springs LCI Study, and developing a detailed site plan and development analysis for a civic center complex and/or other selected properties that may be identified for public investment,” the city’s announcement said.
“Development of the City’s downtown area is one of the most signifiant decisions the City will face for the next 20 years or more. This major planning effort will bring together the downtown property owners, the community, and the city leaders as we launch the redevelopment of our downtown,” Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos said in a press release.
Letters of Interest (no more than 10 pages) for the RFQ are due Jan. 30, 2012. Submissions for the RFI are due Feb. 10, 2012.
City staff will hold an informational session for interested property owners on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012 from 2-4 p.m. in the Community Room of the Heritage Bluestone Building, located at 6110 Bluestone Road, Sandy Springs, Georgia, the city announced.
