A proposal to put a hold on any commercial or academic school construction, expansion or conversion was made to give City Council time to consider what uses are best in downtown.
A proposal to put a three-month halt to adding or expanding any schools in downtown Alpharetta first was panned by business owners, and then City Council itself during a meeting at City Hall on Monday, May 15.
