Prospect Park project will continue, developer says

By Rachel Kellogg / Neighbor Newspapers

Plans to develop Alpharetta’s Prospect Park will go on, despite the reported bankruptcy of its developer Fourth Quarter Properties XLVII.

According to Stanley Thomas, founder, chairman and CEO of Thomas Enterprises, Prospect Park’s lender attempted to foreclose the property, but the company filed for bankruptcy to reorganize its finances.

“Wachovia was advertising that they were going to [foreclose], but we prevented them from doing that by filing Chapter 11,” he said.

Thomas said he is still “100 percent” in moving forward with plans for the mixed-use development, but he was not able to provide a timeline for when construction might take place.

“We’re in the process of some loans,” he said.

Alpharetta’s Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard said the city attorney is still obtaining a copy of the bankruptcy petition from the bankruptcy court.

“Until we see it, I don’t know how it’s going to affect the city,” he said.

Councilman Doug DeRito said he sees the company filing for bankruptcy as a good opportunity to finally see the project through.

“The city has always been supportive of this project,” he said. “The fact that they are able to file for bankruptcy gives us hope that they may be able get the project moving again.”

DeRito said he gives Thomas credit for trying to save the project, and he said he hopes to see Westside Parkway completed soon.

PAL to host 'Shop with a Cop' at Walmart

Alpharetta – The Alpharetta Police Athletic/Activities League (PAL) will host the annual "Shop with a Cop" event on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. at the Windward Parkway Walmart.

In the midst of the recent economic downturn, PAL believes this event is more significant now than ever.

This year, PAL aims to help more than 70 children.

Each child, along with their parent, will be accompanied by a police officer, firefighter or public safety volunteer as he or she shops for their desired holiday gifts.

"Throughout the year, representatives of the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety come across families who, for whatever reason, face financial challenges," said PAL CEO Jason Cimino.

"These financial challenges often times carry into the holiday season and impact their ability to buy gifts for their children."

With the assistance of Walmart, PAL has chosen to fill the spending gaps experienced by some of our local families and ensure many deserving children are recipients of some holiday cheer.

Each child will be able to spend up to $100. Although this allotment is theirs to spend on items for themselves, often these children elect to spend some of the money on gifts for their parents or siblings. And they are as likely to buy clothing as toys.

This annual police hosted/corporate sponsored event helps local families in need meet the holiday expectations for their children.

At this time, PAL still needs additional sponsors.

Walmart and the Alpharetta Rotary Club have already pledged $2,500 and $1,000, respectively. There have also been $300 in individual pledges.
