Roswell greenlights $14.5M parking deck in historic downtown
The Brief
Roswell approved a $14.5 million contract with Winter Construction for a 395-space parking deck, funded by a $179.6 million bond package.
The parking deck will feature a design that blends with Roswell's Historic District, including a brick façade and landscaping to integrate with the environment.
The project is part of the Green Street Activation Plan, aiming to enhance pedestrian connectivity and support local businesses by alleviating congestion.
ROSWELL, Ga. - The City of Roswell has approved a $14.5 million design-build contract with Winter Construction to develop a 395-space parking deck in the heart of its historic downtown district, with completion expected by summer 2026.
The decision was made during a Special Called Mayor and Council meeting on March 26.
What they're saying
"The City of Roswell is thrilled to take this important step forward by awarding the design-build contract for our downtown parking deck—a project made possible by the incredible support of Roswell taxpayers," said Mayor Kurt Wilson. "This has been a true team effort, and I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our hardworking City staff for their expertise and professionalism, as well as to our elected officials for their vision and leadership."
What we know
The deck will be built at the corner of Green Street and Highway 9, directly across from the new Southern Post development. Funding comes from the $179.6 million bond package overwhelmingly approved by voters in November 2022, which included $20 million earmarked for the parking facility.
Winter Construction, an Atlanta-based firm with more than 60 years of experience, was selected from nine firms that submitted proposals. The company was recognized for its top-scoring technical proposal, strong interview performance, and the lowest cost among finalists. Past municipal projects by Winter Construction include parking decks and civic buildings in Woodstock, Snellville, Forsyth County, and East Point.
Local perspective
The new parking structure will reflect the architectural character of Roswell's Historic District. The design features a brick façade, tower-like stairwells, metalwork, and varied exterior wall depths for visual interest. Full façades will be constructed on all four sides—a rare approach for parking structures—and large openings will allow natural light and ventilation throughout, even on subterranean levels.
Planned landscaping and greenery will soften the structure's visual footprint and help it blend into the surrounding environment. Attention was also paid to the building's proximity to two key visual anchors: the classic Greek Revival-style Mason's Lodge and the modern Southern Post development. The design aims to strike a balance between Roswell's historic charm and its evolving identity.
Dig deeper
The parking deck is a cornerstone of the City's Green Street Activation Plan, which is intended to enhance the pedestrian experience and improve connectivity downtown. As part of the plan:
Green Street will become a one-way, southbound road.
A wide, brick-paved, multi-use trail will be added.
New lighting and landscaping will be installed to improve safety and aesthetics.
Plum Tree Street will be converted into a brick-paved trail providing direct access to Canton Street.
Big picture view
In 2021, a city-commissioned parking study found that a well-located parking garage could alleviate congestion in the historic center, encourage longer visits, and better support local businesses. The city hopes this new facility will do just that.
"This parking deck is more than just infrastructure—it's an investment in our City's future, supporting economic growth and enhancing quality of life for years to come," Wilson said.
City leaders are also considering new parking policies to better manage downtown demand. Community meetings on shared parking costs, economic development, and operational strategies are expected to begin in spring 2025.
The City of Roswell says the project reflects not only a focus on practical improvements, but a broader effort to create a more welcoming, accessible, and vibrant downtown for residents and visitors alike.
What we don't know
The exact completion date has not been released yet.

Cerrado Gold Begins Underground Operations at Its Minera Don Nicolas Mine
Highlights: TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire Cerrado Gold Inc. [TSX.V:CERT][OTCQX:CRDOF][FRA:BAI0] (' Cerrado ' or the ' Company ') is pleased to provide an update on the development of the Company's inaugural underground operation commencing underneath the high-grade Paloma pit at its Minera Don Nicolas Mine in Argentina ('MDN'). Earlier this week, the Company completed the initial blast to begin construction of the underground portal and progress the development of the underground mine over the coming months. The initial decline will be driven through the ore body and will provide nominal feed to the carbon in leach ('CIL') plant. Production from the underground is expected to ramp-up to reach steady state production by October this year. Additionally, the Company has now mobilized the initial drill rig to commence the previously announced 20,000 metre exploration drill program at MDN. The primary focus will be near surface, high-grade deposits that can provide feed to the CIL plant as well as expanding potential resources in and around the Las Calandrias heap leach project to add both high grade and heap leachable material. Underground drilling at Paloma will commence once the underground exploration platforms have been established. Mark Brennan, Executive Chairman, commented: 'The start of the underground operation is a key milestone for Cerrado's Argentinian operations; we now have the ability to produce from open pit, heap leach and underground operations. Not only will the underground operations contribute to production immediately, but it will also provide a platform for underground exploration, which remains completely open and largely unexplored at MDN.' Review of Technical Information The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Andrew Croal, Chief Technical Officer for Cerrado Gold, who is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. About Cerrado Cerrado Gold is a Toronto-based gold production, development, and exploration company. The Company is the 100% owner of the producing Minera Don Nicolás and Las Calandrias mine in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. In Portugal, the Company holds an 80% interest in the highly prospective Lagoa Salgada VMS project through its position in Redcorp – Empreendimentos Mineiros, Lda. In Canada, Cerrado Gold is developing its 100% owned Mont Sorcier Iron project located outside of Chibougamou, Quebec. In Argentina, Cerrado is maximizing asset value at its Minera Don Nicolas ('MDN') operation through continued operational optimization and is growing production through its operations at the Las Calandrias heap leach project. An extensive campaign of exploration is ongoing to further unlock potential resources in our highly prospective land package in the heart of the Deseado Masiff. In Portugal, Cerrado is focused on the development and exploration of the highly prospective Lagoa Salgada VMS project located on the prolific Iberian Pyrite Belt in Portugal. The Lagoa Salgada project is a high-grade polymetallic project, demonstrating a typical mineralization endowment of zinc, copper, lead, tin, silver, and gold. Extensive exploration upside potential lies both near deposit and at prospective step-out targets across the large 7,209-hectare property concession. Located just 80km from Lisbon and surrounded by exceptional infrastructure, Lagoa Salgada offers a low-cost entry to a significant development and exploration opportunity, already showing its mineable scale and cashflow generation potential. In Canada, Cerrado holds a 100% interest in the Mont Sorcier high purity high grade DRI Iron Ore project, which has the potential to produce a premium iron ore concentrate over a long mine life at low operating costs and low capital intensity. Furthermore, its high grade and high purity product facilitates the migration of steel producers from blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces, contributing to the decarbonization of the industry and the achievement of sustainable development goals.
