The new Johns Creek City Hall will occupy 2 floors of this building in
Technology Park/Johns Creek.
Come this spring, the City of Johns Creek government will relocate into anew City Hall – its first – in Technology Park/Johns Creek. Since mid-November, the city operations,Mayor's office and City Council have been operating out of space donated byState Rep. and Speaker Pro Tem Mark Burkhalter at his office complex located at9810 Medlock Bridge Road.
"Representative Burkhalter's generosity has been tremendous in every way," said Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker. "He truly went the extradistance for his constituents, providing the citizens the office space neededto launch our city government."
The 12000 Findley Road lobby will soon be welcoming citizens to City Hall.
This week it was announced the city secured a 5-year leaseon space in an existing building at 12000Findley Road, just off Ga. 141/Medlock Bridge Road. The building will house the Johns Creekgovernment, administrative and operating services as well as the Mayor and CityCouncil offices.
"We're very happy to have a place to call home," said MayorBodker. "Although we are viewing this as a temporary location, it reallyis an ideal space with enough room to address the city's needs while we lookdown the road for a more central and permanent City Hall."
The city will take over approximately 33,000 squarefeet on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building, which arecurrently unoccupied. Design work hasbegun on building it out to meet the specific needs of the city.
