On July 26, a Roswell couple moving out of rental assistance housing reported a burglary from their apartment on Myrtle Street that left over $6,500 in stolen items—including an iMac, PlayStation 5, Chromebook, perfumes, security cameras and jewelry—with an officer noting there was no door damage or forced entry.

On July 28, the Roswell City Council approved a Stakeholder Committee for the Comprehensive Growth Plan 2045, made up of two council members, four community members, and one member each from the Roswell and Downtown Development Authorities—set to meet four to five times until the draft is complete by year’s end. The council also approved the first reading of the Roswell Development Finance Program, which will offer $4 million loans on new hotel projects valued at a minimum of $20 million—this plan will return to council on August 25 for further action.

On July 26, the Roswell Fire Department held a push-in ceremony to welcome two custom fire engines bought with a $1.5 million investment.

Dr. Cristina Pelaez Velez of Wellstar Health warned that students returning to school may face dangerous heat as children easily become dehydrated and should carry water bottles and seek shade — she advised parents and coaches to watch for signs of heat illness like fatigue and confusion.
