The City of Sandy Springs, Georgia, became Georgia’s 7th largest city upon its incorporation in December 2005.  The Governor’s Commission, which helped the city in start-up, elected to use the public private partnership model to set up and operate the new city government, and CH2M HILL was selected to partner with the City of Sandy Springs.  The City’s Public Works staff and services are provided through this partnership with CH2M HILL.

This case study was submitted to the Alliance for Innovation for consideration at the 2010 Transforming Local Government conference.
