Tree-lighting plan would turn a Market Street storefront into a sensory-friendly space

Alpharetta is proposing a sensory-friendly space for its tree-lighting celebration inside a City Center storefront at 235 Market Street, Suite 5H.⁠[1]

Under the proposed premises agreement with Prim ACC Retail, LLC, the city would pay no usage fee or security deposit. It would have access to the storefront on Nov. 20 and 21, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day.⁠[1]

Those are the proposed hours for the city's use of the premises—not confirmed public opening hours. The staff description and agreement do not specify a visitor schedule or what staffing and amenities the sensory-friendly space would provide.⁠[1]

City Council is scheduled to consider the agreement on its Nov. 16 consent agenda, with authorization for the mayor to execute the documents. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall, 2 Park Plaza. The arrangement remains a proposal, not an approved opening.⁠[2]
