In August, during a meeting with the Economic Development Advisory Committee, David Dixon and Ben Carlson of Goody Clancy suggested mixed-use developments covering 25 to 40 acres. That would include 600-1,000 housing units. Additionally, 40 to 50 housing units per acre is suggested, costing $1 million-$1.5 million per acre, they said.
The consultants also brought up ideas for private investment in downtown Sandy Springs. See for detailed ideas discussed on parking, Sandy Springs’ own “Canton Street,” and where downtown would actually be.
