As we wrap up another year of progress, partnership and community impact, True North 400 extends our warmest holiday wishes to everyone in our district.

Thank you for your continued collaboration and support. We’re grateful for the chance to work alongside community leaders, our board members, businesses and residents who care deeply about shaping a vibrant future for North Fulton.

True North 400 is excited to announce a major milestone for the future of transportation in our corridor. The Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority has awarded the CID a $2 million grant to advance design and engineering work that will enhance first and last mile connectivity to the upcoming Express Lane Transit (ELT) system planned along SR 400.

This grant ensures that North Fulton’s businesses, commuters and residents can fully benefit from a safer, more accessible and connected transit network. 

We are excited to share that all three partner cities — Alpharetta, Milton and Roswell — have now officially approved the expansion of the True North 400 Community Improvement District, with Roswell giving its final approval on December 9, 2025. This expansion brings 29 additional commercial parcels into the district, representing roughly $26.3 million in assessed value, allowing True North 400 to broaden its project reach and strengthen regional connectivity and mobility efforts.

Executive Director Kristin Winzeler highlighted that expanding the district ensures the CID can continue evolving alongside the communities it serves. Recent investments — including the Kimball Bridge Gap, Encore Greenway Park, improved transit amenities and design funding for sections of the Alpha Loop — illustrate True North 400’s commitment to thoughtful, forward-looking improvements.

With approvals now complete, True North 400 is positioned to accelerate its work across North Fulton in 2026 and beyond.

If you’ve driven along GA 400 lately, you may have noticed increased tree clearing throughout the corridor. This work marks the start of “Early Works” for the Georgia 400 Express Lanes, a $4.6 billion infrastructure project that will enhance mobility, provide more reliable travel options and support long-term economic growth in our region.

Here’s what you need to know:

As these early construction activities begin, True North 400 will continue to keep our community informed and engaged. The Georgia Department of Transportation also has information on the project here.

The City of Milton is advancing a key transportation improvement that will enhance both safety and mobility for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians traveling along SR 372/Birmingham Highway. During the November 3 City Council meeting, officials announced that the redesign of the Crabapple Crossing roundabout is officially moving into the engineering phase.

Funded through TSPLOST, the project aims to improve roadway operations around one of Milton’s most traveled corridors. Following engineering, the initiative is expected to move into right-of-way acquisition in 2028, with construction anticipated to begin in 2029.

The holiday season is shining bright throughout the True North 400 district, and our communities are packed with festive events for every age. There’s something magical waiting in Alpharetta, Milton and Roswell.
