Roswell Residents Outraged Over Tree Loss and Wildlife Impact at Historic Mimosa Hall Redevelopment Project

Residents of Roswell are voicing strong opposition to the city government's redevelopment plans for Mimosa Hall & Gardens, an antebellum property purchased in 2017. The project, aimed at creating a connection between greenspaces, has led to significant tree removal, prompting concerns about the loss of historic gardens and wildlife. City officials have stated that they will protect a century-old black walnut tree and plan to replace removed trees with native species, while residents express frustration over perceived lack of transparency in the planning process.
