Peachtree Corners will celebrate the grand opening of the city’s new Town Center beginning at 4 p.m. April 27.

According to a recent newsletter, Mayor Mike Mason noted, “Turning a 21-acre tract of land into a place that would become the central gathering place for community was no small feat. The city was barely six months old when it took a giant step in purchasing the land that was destined for 267 garden-style apartments and creating instead a special place for all our citizens to enjoy.”

The mixed-use development includes shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, and a 2+ acre Town Green. The oval-shaped lawn is surrounded by two open air pavilions, performance stage, large screen TVs, café tables, and a nearby veterans’ monument. Construction on 72 townhomes will begin very soon.
