Snellville town center inches toward soft opening; sidewalks and tenant permits advancing

City staff told the council on Nov. 10 that construction at the Snellville town center is progressing and could be ready for a soft opening later this week.

"It could be pretty soft opening on Wednesday at 04:00," Matt said, noting a Taqueria tenant is completing final permitting steps with the fire marshal and county public health. He said Parkside work is ongoing and that staff have circulated an update packet for council review.

Matt described ongoing sidewalk pours, demolition of some driveway aprons and that contractors have connected a bank property to sewer, leaving only punch-list items. He told the council that, with utilities completed, weather remains the limiting factor for final pours and finishing work.

The council did not take action during the work session; staff will continue to monitor permitting milestones and weather-dependent construction schedules and notify council when tenants request official ribbon-cutting or formal opening events.
