Johns Creek Community Development Director Ben Song and Economic Development Director Kim Allonce shared insights into the planning and development of the Johns Creek Town Center with Harry Normal Realtors on Tuesday. From public investments like Creekside Park and the Medlock Bridge / GA 141 pedestrian tunnel to major private developments such as Medley and Boston Scientific, the Town Center area transformation is taking shape. The Johns Creek Town Center development involves the transformation of a 192-acre business park that is located along Medlock Bridge Road, McGinnis Ferry Road, and Johns Creek Parkway. The project will establish a vibrant walkable town center that will feature a new 40-acre mixed-use retail district (Medley) and a new linear park (Creekside Park) that when completed will feature pedestrian pathway systems, a lakefront amphitheater, a boardwalk, fountains, and a community playground. On Wednesday, the City broke ground on the Town Center stream restoration project, which includes restoring more than 1,500 linear feet of eroded streambank and adds a 10-foot-wide ADA-compliant trail connecting McGinnis Ferry Road to Creekside Park.

The appointment of Kimberly Greer as the City Manager represents an exciting milestone for Johns Creek,” said Mayor John Bradberry. “She is an experienced leader and has proven her ability to motivate and manage the staff team and advance the priorities of the Council.
