The City's newest fire station is scheduled to open this summer and the public is invited to the ribbon-cutting event on Monday, July 1 at 11 a.m. The new fire station located at 7800 Mount Vernon Road (at the intersection of Spalding Drive and Spalding Road) is a two-story structure consisting of approximately 10,912 square feet.

The North Springs MARTA Corridor Study is a strategic project to make the station a more walkable destination by improving multimodal safety and comfort on Peachtree Dunwoody Road; identifying a preferred route to extend the PATH 400 trail north to the station area; enhancing walking and biking access to the station; finding opportunities for placemaking at the station; and creating a concept for transit-oriented development on the North Springs MARTA Station property. For more information please visit, the project page on the City's website.

Many of us live in spaces with green lawns and ornamental flowers and plants. While beautiful, this type of landscaping is designed to give us pleasure, but not to nourish and sustain native wildlife. Leslie Inman from Pollinator Friendly Yards had this type of carefully manicured yard. As she learned more about the decline of pollinators, she began to transform her yard to attract wildlife. Join us as Leslie shares her journey with us and gives us advice and tips to create inviting spaces for butterflies, bees, birds, and all native wildlife! Please register for this free event so we know how many to expect. Donations to FOLC appreciated.
