True North 400 is soliciting an Invitation for Quotes (IFQ) from qualified firms for design services for a “Quick Win Project” in the City of Roswell. The project is intended to enhance the intersection of Mansell Place and SR 9/Alpharetta Highway in the City of Roswell by adding a traffic signal and upgrading pedestrian crossings. The improvements are designed to enhance safety and improve access for drivers entering SR 9 from Mansell Place.

There will be a virtual Offerors Conference scheduled on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 10 a.m. and sealed bids are due Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 2 p.m., at True North 400, 10000 Avalon Boulevard, Suite 100, Alpharetta, Georgia 30009.

The Alpharetta City Council recently advanced the plans for a mixed-use redevelopment at Old Morris Road and Morris Road that would upgrade a 15-acre office development into a mixed-use district with office space, retail and condominiums, marking another step forward in the evolution of North Fulton office properties.

This growing trend of reimagining traditional office space creates more walkable, connected destinations that better serve the companies, employees, residents and visitors that frequent the development. As North Fulton continues to grow, projects like this help meet the needs of the dynamic business environment while creating spaces for people to work, live, shop and build community.

The Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce will host the North Fulton Focus Series: Leadership & Nonprofit Awards on Tuesday, June 23, at Phase Events in Alpharetta, in recognition of the nonprofit organizations and leaders making a meaningful impact across North Fulton.

In recognition of the United States’ 250th birthday, this year’s program will feature a special keynote address and a tribute honoring North Fulton veterans and their military service.

According to a recent article in Site Selection Magazine, Chris Bacon, CEO of Ministry Brands, said his company of 700 employees relocated its corporate headquarters from Knoxville, Tennessee, to Milton, Georgia in May. “We will celebrate our grand opening on June 23, but for all practical purposes, we are here,” he said from his new office in Deerfield Business Centre just off State Road 400 in Milton.

The Executive Director of True North 400 was quoted in the article discussing the impact of the SR 400 widening on the greater North Fulton area over the next 30 years. The project, which is designed to reduce congestion and improve travel times, will also continue to spur economic growth.

Milton’s Birmingham Park is one step closer to future improvements, and the City of Milton is asking residents to weigh in. The city is in the final stages of securing a $200,000 grant from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to support upgrades throughout the park, including trail improvements, ADA-compliant restroom facilities and other enhancements.

Community feedback will help shape the next steps for one of Milton’s valued outdoor spaces. Residents are encouraged to share their input through the City of Milton’s website over the next several weeks.

Roswell’s new E-911 Emergency Communications Center is officially open, bringing upgraded technology, improved workspaces and stronger operational support to the emergency communications professionals who serve as the first point of contact during a crisis.

The new center includes more space, upgraded workstations and improved technology including uninterruptible power supply systems to help keep operations running during severe weather and power outages. Whether someone is calling from home, a business, a major roadway or along GA 400, faster location identification and resilient emergency communications can make a critical difference when every second matters.

Congratulations to the Milton Fire-Rescue for receiving the 2026 Heart Safe Community Award! Milton is one of only two departments nationwide to earn this recognition, which highlights exceptional work to improve outcomes during cardiac-related emergencies.

The award reflects Milton Fire-Rescue’s commitment to advanced training, strong coordination with hospital partners, life-saving equipment and proactive emergency response strategies that help increase protection of the community.

True North 400 congratulates Chief Gabe Benmoussa and the entire Milton Fire-Rescue team on this well-deserved national honor.

More pedestrian improvements are moving forward in Alpharetta as the City Council prepares to review a $1.9 million construction contract focused on safer, more connected sidewalks and road crossings.

The proposed work would build walkways on Cumming Street, Westside Parkway and Devore Road and add Alpha Loop-style crosswalks and ADA-compliant ramps near Haynes Bridge Road. The project also includes a raised boardwalk along Cumming Street, designed to protect the roots of mature trees while improving pedestrian access.
