Summary

A steering committee member suggested expanding the Canton Street concept by one or two blocks to attract more people to Roswell’s downtown business area and enhance local commerce.

One committee member proposed expanding the Canton Street idea to draw more people into Roswell’s downtown. “If it was expanded maybe 1 or 2 blocks out, I think we would attract more people into the city of Roswell,” Resident (S4) said, describing expansion as a tactic to increase downtown activity.

Speakers framed the suggestion as a localized placemaking move linked to broader efforts to attract businesses and reduce residents' tax burdens. The proposal was presented as an option to be considered rather than a formal plan amendment; no implementation timeline or funding source was specified in the remarks.
