A series of public meetings will be held at Conyers City Council Chambers, 1194 Scott Street (second floor of the Conyers Police Department), to allow the public to view renderings for the retrofit of the Conyers Police Department and the proposed city hall and ask questions about the plans. The meeting will take place on Thursday, April 26 and the final meeting will be held on Thursday, May 10, from 5-7 p.m. The meeting will be an open house format with renderings on display. Officials and staff will be in attendance to answer questions. Tours will be offered of the existing facilities.

The May 22 election calls for voters to determine whether the city should issue a general obligation bond in the amount of $13 million for the purpose of financing city administrative and public safety facilities. A breakdown of costs and features for the $13 million investment is as follows:

City Hall - $9 million
Parking structure at new City Hall - $1 million
Police Department Retrofit and Municipal Courtroom at Scott Street - $3 million. The new courtroom would meet all federal and security guidelines.

The approval of the bond would result in an addition of approximately $71 to an average annual $100,000 property bill. For more information, contact the city manager's office at 770-929-4226 or Conyers City Hall at 770-483-4411.
