Fulton County Opens New Behavioral Health and Human Services Facility in North Fulton, Plans Crisis Center
Fulton County presented information on its new $25 million behavioral health and human services facility located at 4700 North Point Parkway in Alpharetta. The facility offers a range of services including outpatient behavioral health and substance use disorder services, developmental disabilities training, senior services (adult day health), vital records, customer service support, and a recovery treatment court. It is not a homeless shelter, acute care facility, or crisis center. The presentation also highlighted plans for a second behavioral health crisis center on the same campus, a $24 million project expected to take 2.5 years, which will provide crisis care and reduce the need for hospital transport. Funding opportunities for opioid treatment are also available. The county is promoting a new mobile app, 'Fulton Cares,' for accessing services and making appointments.
Milton City Council Extends Data Center Moratorium for 180 Days to Review UDC
The City Council voted to extend a moratorium on data center applications for up to 180 days, allowing time to review and potentially amend the Unified Development Code (UDC) regarding data center land use. This decision follows a previous, shorter moratorium imposed on June 15th. The extension aims to ensure the UDC adequately addresses regulatory requirements and community/council sentiment regarding data centers. The moratorium will automatically lift if UDC modifications are made within the 180-day period. Public comments were heard both for and against extending the moratorium, with concerns raised about infrastructure costs, environmental impact, and property values, contrasted with arguments for future revenue, technological advancement, and the need for timely action in a competitive market.
