ALPHARETTA, Ga. — If you notice something strange floating in the sky over Alpharetta on Friday, don’t worry. It’s not a UFO.
A developer plans to float a large balloon between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m.
The balloon is meant to demonstrate the height of a proposed new building.
The developer wants to build a mixed-use development at Main Street and Marietta Street.
According to city zoning documents, the proposed building would include 195 rental units and 35,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space on 3.02 acres in downtown.
A City Council hearing on the proposed building is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 27 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
