Work has begun on The Gathering, the largest mixed-use development in North Georgia’s history and a soon-to-be destination place.
The 100-acre site, which was unveiled days ago, will cost $2 billion and serve as “the gateway to Forsyth County,” according to developers.
New Renderings Show The Gathering In South Forsyth County
Fresh renderings show several facets of the project, including how it could attract everything from a major sports franchise to the circus.
How the project will ultimately be funded remains to be seen as different ideations such as taxes and private donations have all been tossed about.
“The Gathering at South Forsyth will be an economic driver like no other,” said Alfred John – Chairman, Forsyth County Commission. “It will enhance what our County currently offers with an added focal point for world-class events, shopping and dining, and it will generate thousands of jobs both during, and after, construction. In addition, for the first time, our students and their families will be able to celebrate milestone achievements like graduations without limitations or being forced to travel outside the County’s boundaries. This best-in-class development will create a halo effect that will raise the County’s visibility and provide added economic growth opportunities,” he added.
