Sugar Hill has finalized the planning phase of the 2018 Downtown Master Plan and will be presenting it to the city council for adoption during the city council meeting at 7 p.m. Sept.10 in the Community Room of City Hall, 5039 West Broad St.

The city was awarded a Livable Centers Initiative grant by the Atlanta Regional Commission to prepare a major update to the current downtown master plan. City leaders will use this plan to make informed planning decisions about the expansion of the downtown core, housing needs, pedestrian and bike mobility strategies and land use policies.
