What’s Happening: The Roswell Fire Department is holding a public information meeting on Wednesday, December 10, at 6 p.m. at the East Roswell Park Recreation Center.

Fire Station #27 will be built on city-owned property on Fouts Road next to East Roswell Park.

What’s Important: Fire Chief Pabel Troche and city staff will explain why this location was chosen using data analysis and how new technology like traffic signal preemption will help firefighters respond faster to emergencies.

What You Need to Know: The meeting is open to all residents, businesses and local organizations who want to learn more about the project and ask questions.

In The Know: While much attention is given to national politics and the workings of Congress and the White House, local government meetings are where the decisions that impact your daily life are made. City Council, County Commission, School Board Meetings, and Town Halls are where your elected leaders discuss and decide the issues that most effect your family and your community. These meetings are open to the public.

Each week, The Georgia Sun highlights some of the meetings and local government actions you need to know about in your community to keep you informed and to make sure you know what decisions your elected officials are considering and how your tax dollars are being spent.
