Recently, the Johns Creek City Council has sanctioned $85,500 total in fiscal 2021 tourism product development spending for three Convention and Visitors Bureau projects in order to draw maximum tourists to the city.
A $55,000 gateway marker at State Bridge Road and the Chattahoochee River would be the second such marker after one set up in August 2020 on Kimball Bridge Road, in a report to the council.
Also, the convention bureau has requested $9,500 to continue a gateway marker study begun in 2020 but temporarily stopped due to revenue decline.
“The second phase of the gateway marker study … would engineer a foundation design and site study for the second gateway marker,” staff said.
To finish, $21,000 will go toward lighting and landscaping for The Wall That Heals, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Newtown Park. In fiscal 2020, the upgrading were budgeted at $70,000, but were reduced to $46,300 due to a slump in revenue.
