Brookhaven removing glass from new city centre dome for being brighter than expected

Atlanta, GALocal News

Brookhaven plans to remove the glass from the new city center dome, citing its brightness as a concern. The city designed the mosaic glass to reflect muted tones of its signature colors, but the actual appearance has drawn criticism for being overly bright. Local leaders and residents had expected a more understated look that would complement the surrounding area. The city aims to address these concerns and align the dome's appearance with its original vision. Officials indicated that the removal process will begin shortly to minimize disruption.

This decision reflects the city's responsiveness to community feedback about public spaces. Brookhaven is committed to creating an aesthetically pleasing environment that resonates with its residents. The change is part of a broader initiative to enhance the visual appeal of the city center.
