Lookout Mountain, Georgia, Mayor David Bennett will unveil the city’s plan for a new government building and retail space next week.

Bennett and other city officials will host a public meeting at the Lookout Mountain Club Ballroom at 1201 Fleetwood Drive on April 15 at 6 p.m. There, he plans to reveal a detailed plan for the new city hall, including its look, the cost of the project and how the city government plans to pay for construction.

So far, though, Bennett has been mum on the particulars. During an interview Friday, he declined to share the project’s key details. The city council planned to hold a joint meeting with Lookout Mountain’s planning commission to discuss the town center project tonight. But Bennett cancelled that meeting Monday.

He told the Times Free Press that the property will hold municipal buildings, such as a city hall, police station and fire department. The area will also contain commercial property, which city officials would sell to a commercial developer.

Bennett said the other key questions will be answered next week.
