Mayor Invites Community To Town Center Grand Opening

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA -- Peachtree Corners Mayor Mike Mason is inviting the community to the long-awaited Town Center grand opening, set to take place Saturday, April 27, with a day full of fun festivities.

"It’s been a long time coming – but the day to celebrate the completion of the city’s Town
Center is upon us," Mason wrote in a letter to the community. "On Saturday, April 27, the afternoon will be filled with fun activities, music, food and more as we revel in the culmination of years of planning, designing and constructing of our Town Center.

"Turning a 21-acre tract of land into a place that would become the central gathering place for
community was no small feat," said. "The city was barely six months old when it took a giant step in purchasing the land that was destined for 267 garden-style apartments and creating instead a
special place for all our citizens to enjoy."

The concept for a Town Center was developed from a Livable Center Initiative (LCI) study in
which citizens were polled – the overwhelming majority wanted to see a city center on the
undeveloped property. The property then was rezoned to accommodate a mixed-use
development, a design concept was approved, a contractor selected, Fuqua, then finally a
groundbreaking in June 2017.

The new development is filled with shops, restaurants, entertainment venues – and at the
center is a 2+ acre Town Green. The large oval-shaped lawn is surrounded by two open air
pavilions, performance stage, large screen TVs, café tables – and a veterans’ monument to
honor our men and women who served or are serving our country. Additionally, construction
on 72 townhomes will soon begin.

"But enough of looking back – we are all now delighted to look forward to a grand opening
extravaganza," Mason concluded. "We hope all of you can attend."

Festivities Begin with a Parade at 4 p.m.

At 3 p.m. there will be a ribbon-cutting at the entrance to the Town Green and then the
festivities will get underway with a parade at 4 p.m.

Starting at Peachtree Corners Circle and Medlock Bridge Road, the parade will march along
Medlock Bridge and Town Center Boulevard. The community is invited to watch the parade
along the parade route and then join in at the end as the parade leads everyone into the new
Town Center.

The City Council will be on stage at the Town Green to welcome everyone at the conclusion of
the parade. After that, there will be a DJ playing music and strolling entertainment throughout
the afternoon. At 8 p.m. the Atlanta Rhythm Section will perform on stage. And be sure to stay
until the end when an awesome drone show will light up the night sky!

On-site parking is limited, but there is plenty of parking at off-site locations along Peachtree
Corners Circle and shuttles will be running continuously. Look for signs to parking lots posted
along Peachtree Parkway. Carpooling is encouraged. For this event, no pets or coolers please.
(Both will be welcomed at other events.) Refreshments will be available for purchase, but no
tickets are required for the Grand Opening event or the Atlanta Rhythm Section concert.
Our new Town Center will be a place to make memories. Please come help us celebrate!
