News & Events

Communications Update

• I am very pleased to announce that Judy Putnam will fill the communications role for the city. She is starting immediately. We have been aware of the need to improve communications and the change at the Patch provided a great opportunity both for Judy and the city. We are very excited about Judy’s ability to keep our city informed and engaged. Look for a press release with the formal announcement very shortly. You can reach Judy at her new e-mail address: jputnam@peachtreecornersga.org or Phone (direct line): 770-609-8821.

Filming in Peachtree Corners

It was noted this week that it looked like filming was occurring in Peachtree Corners with a lot of trucks parked at the church on the corner of Spalding and Peachtree Corners Circle. Bob Nebel was good enough to check it out and posted this to the Patch:

• “From Rico Figliolini: It is for the upcoming AMC TV series called "Halt and Catch Fire" which captures the rise of the PC era in the early 1980s. That's one reason they are shooting at the Marriott, seems they had little to do by way of construction to make it look like the 80s. They also shot a hurricane scene in downtown Norcross a few days ago. http://www.amctv.com/shows/halt-and-catch-fire”
