East Metro DeKalb Community Improvement District Announces March Meetings

The weekly "listening sessions" are hoped to generate plenty of comments and concerns from area residents and property owners.

The East Metro DeKalb Community Improvement District (CID) wants to keep its pulse on the area it represents by holding a series of informal public meetings throughout the month of March.

According to the CID, these “listening sessions” will be held every Tuesday at locations across the county, including the Community Achievement Center in Decatur. The sessions are geared towards input from DeKalb’s community leaders and property owners on ways the CID should budget its resources to most effectively improve the area.

“Our path to success involves building relationships and strategic partnerships, and this includes staying closely connected with our property owners and community leadership,” CID Director Nicole McGhee Hall said. “We want to promote a greater understanding of the CID’s efforts so we can experience greater growth and accomplish significant enhancements in the district.”
