Dahlonega landowner Roberta Green-Garrett broke her silence in the simmering Parks Building debate that has raged in the town for more than a year, issuing a statement Friday morning that did not mention the controversy over the Ku Klux Klan sign hung from the building last week. The debate over two protected historic buildings off the Dahlonega square came to the forefront of public attention Feb. 16 when a large banner was attached to one of the buildings that read, “Historic Ku Klux Klan Meeting Hall,” including an image of a hooded figure sporting the KKK symbol. The sign stayed up for a day before city officials took it down over an ordinance violation.
