The city of Garden City is relocating its town center from its current location on Highway 25 amidst the growing Georgia Ports Authority, to a new area on Dean Forest Road. Plans include building a new city hall set to open in August, as well as hopes to add shops, a post office, library and a regional public safety training center. The goal is to move the downtown area to a location where the city can grow, as city officials decided to take matters into their own hands to shape their own future in the face of industrial growth near the current port location.
