'Why the Groveway Project is a Win for Roswell'

"The exemplifies what happens when a neighborhood takes pride in responsibility for their community.  

The planners responsible for designing the Groveway [zoning code] are some of the most talented city designers in the world. With the Groveway project, Roswell is positioned to be one of the most exciting, and yet historically preserved, cities the country.

As a representative of the younger Roswell demographic, I am excited about possibilities of further preserving and developing this area. If passed, Roswell and its historic roots and rich history will be protected.

I hope the city council can appreciate not simply the design and hard work put into restoring the Groveway, but also the timing and the necessity of passing this project at the next council gathering. This is just the kind of project that Roswell needs to protect the downtown and increase private industry.

The Groveway is a win for all and will develop organically rather than some of the more contrived mixed use developments that feel more like an outdoor mall than genuine downtown such as Charleston. All who can, should show up this Monday night to bring support for the Groveway."
