What makes Peachtree Corners the Best Place to Live in Georgia for Families? We discussed that with City Manager Brian Johnson, along with updates on the planned Town Center dog park coming in September, and the City Marshalls starting in late July. Also, did you know Peachtree Corners is home to E/M Group? it's the company that brought us the Titanic and Bodies exhibitions and more. Lots to unpack.
QUOTE: from Brian Johnson
“Some governments have high millage rates and the government takes a lot of money from the citizens. Now it turns around and it puts it back into the community... So we could certainly do that, millage rates, but instead we would prefer to be facilitators. The more we can outsource and let the private sector run and not us, the longer we can go without a millage rate.”
