FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A project that could reshape metro Atlanta’s northern suburbs took a major step forward this week as Forsyth County commissioners approved key measures to advance “The Gathering at South Forsyth,” a proposed $3 billion mixed-use development centered around a potential NHL-ready arena.
Developers say the project, located near Ga. 400 and Union Hill Road, would transform more than 100 acres into a vibrant entertainment and residential hub — complete with restaurants, retail space, hotels, offices, parks, and an 18,000-seat indoor arena designed to attract professional hockey back to Georgia.
Krause Sports and Entertainment owns the land and is planning the mixed-used development. Vernon Krause is the President and CEO of the company.
The company is stated as “a family-owned and operated collection of dealerships” and that “they go above and beyond for their customers,” according to their website (https://thegatheringatsouthforsyth.com/development-team/).
The arena, if approved by the National Hockey League, could serve as home to a future expansion or relocated NHL team. Georgia has not hosted an NHL franchise since the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg in 2011.
