Former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes, who served as city attorney for Powder Springs for 25 years, remarked on the city’s transformation, saying, “I’ve seen over the years the changes that have occurred and how it has matured into one of the great cities in the state.”
The new city hall replaces the old municipal building and is situated on the block where the previous city hall stood. The redevelopment also includes a new park and pavilion, as well as new housing developments.
Sharon Mason, President and CEO of the Cobb Chamber, praised the project for creating a vibrant environment and a strong sense of place for Powder Springs.
The community is invited to explore the new city hall during a public open house with tours and entertainment scheduled for Saturday morning.
