District 4 councilmember outlines $17 million community center plan, parks and road projects in South Fulton anniversary remarks

District 4 Councilmember JC Sebastian on Saturday marked the City of South Fulton’s eighth anniversary by detailing recent and planned projects in his district, including an allocation of more than $17 million for a new community center and improvements to Cedar Grove Park.

In a roughly four‑minute address, District 4 Councilmember JC Sebastian said the city has ‘‘allocated over $17,000,000 to build a new community center and to improve Cedar Grove Park’’ and described additional projects including expansion of Fire Station 6, the paving of ‘‘over 20 miles of roads’’ in District 4 and near‑completion of the Rivertown Cedar Grove Roundabout.

The remarks gave local context for several neighborhood programs Sebastian said he helped bring to the district: an annual autism festival, an annual sing festival, a holiday tree lighting and toy giveaway, ongoing food giveaways, and a District 4 farmers market. He also said the former Bishop Road landfill ‘‘is being redeveloped into an economically productive entity.’’

Sebastian listed near‑term priorities he said he will continue to pursue, including attracting supermarkets, sit‑down restaurants, medical services and private‑sector investment in District 4. He also mentioned an upcoming project he called the Citigroup Village Center but did not provide further details about its scope, timeline or funding sources.

The speech did not specify the funding sources for the cited $17 million allocation, nor did it give firm completion dates for most projects; the roundabout was described as ‘‘soon to be completed.’’ No motions, votes or formal council actions were reported during the remarks.

Sebastian closed by urging residents to stay engaged and participate in building what he called ‘‘a city on the rise.’’
