Is Sandy Springs hot or is Sandy Springs cool? Mayor Paul says, both! Before a crowd of 240 people at the Sandy Springs Perimeter Chamber State of the City breakfast, the mayor reflected on his first year in office and praised his staff and the community for their demonstrated unity moving forward with key initiatives like the City Center development, revitalization of the Roswell Road corridor, and attracting big companies like Mercedes Benz to relocate their corporate headquarters here. He stressed that it is equally important to create the necessary community and infrastructure to retain the big companies as well as our independent small businesses.
