Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 19th of November.
Good morning, Alpharetta.
🏛️ Government
State lawmakers heard Tuesday about House Bill 812 (which sets strict local permit deadlines and allows the state to override extra local rules) aimed at speeding building permits amid rising home costs.
Builders and developers said delays add costs and contribute to homes being too expensive.
Alpharetta leaders approved a tax allocation district to help redevelop North Point Mall + the plan calls for thousands of housing units, millions of square feet of commercial space and a possible hockey arena.
The next step is to secure an investor to lead the mixed-use project.
🏈 Sports
The Falcons placed quarterback Michael Penix Jr. on injured reserve after he suffered a left knee injury in Sunday’s Carolina Panthers game — backup Kirk Cousins will start at least the next four games.
Penix walked off the field on his own and the team now prepares for a matchup against the New Orleans Saints next Sunday.
