Flowery Branch City Council received its first status report by Pond & Co. on its marketing and redevelopment analysis for the city. The study, expected to be completed and formally presented to council in November, will outline the architecture, engineering and planning firm’s findings on historic Flowery Branch’s current development and marketability and provide an action plan for future economic development. The analysis focuses on the historic portion of the city and associated commercial properties lining Atlanta Highway adjacent to the historic district.
