49 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 10 In collaboration with Tanner Health System, who is the title sponsor, Carrollton also introduced a half marathon 5 years ago. “That race has grown and grown every year,” she explains. “11 miles of it is on the Carrollton Greenbelt, but it begins and ends right in our downtown square. So, everybody goes and runs the race and then we have a big party at the end. It’s really fun.” Diversifying Housing to Reflect a Changing Population On the subject of housing development, City Manager, David Brooks, says Carrollton is in the midst of several ongoing and upcoming construction projects. These include developments such as Cedar Park which will eventually feature 86 single-family detached homes, and Legacy Park which will bring approximately 32 luxury homes to the community. Carrollton has also recently approved its first rental subdivision, which is slated to introduce 150 detached homes and possibly some duplexes, all for rental purposes. In another area, approval was recently granted for a 340-unit apartment complex with mixed-use out parcels, to attract grocery stores, high-quality gas stations, restaurants, coffee shops, and more. A partnership between Tanner Health System, RaLin Construction, and Linco Properties will also see the creation of a 55 and older community in Carrollton. This project will offer 80 homes for residents aged 55 and above, alongside a Tanneroperated retirement facility offering a range of care levels, from assisted living to acute care, all on the same footprint. The development will include amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, and recreational facilities. CI T Y OF CARROLLTON, GEORGIA
