The goal is to preserve architecturally and culturally significant elements from the building to honor Doc's Café as a physical emblem of Black community heritage in Roswell. Plans for a permanent site will be shared at a later stage. Specialists in architecture, cultural history, and historic documentation are using advanced tools such as 3D laser scanning and CAD drawings to record and prioritize notable materials for potential future use and safeguard structural components during deconstruction and create detailed documentation to guide future design and interpretive efforts. - · Last week, PBS Aerospace officially opened the doors of its new North American headquarters in Roswell! Last year, PBS Aerospace, a major manufacturer of worldclass small turbojet engines based in the Czech Republic, selected Roswell as its U.S. base for manufacturing and research and development (R & D) operations. This move brings a \$20 million investment and 150 jobs to Roswell, and advances the City's position as a hub for innovation and aerospace development. Positioning Roswell at the forefront of emerging technology has been a cornerstone of our economic strategy. PBS is proof this vision is not just an aspiration-it's a reality! - · Major improvements were completed at East Roswell Park and East Roswell Dog Park that include new parking, improved trail connectivity, enhanced ADA accessibility, upgraded stormwater systems and many other enhancements to a park that has been a community treasure for more than 30 years.
