DeKalb CEO: County Government Better for Druid Hills
The interim DeKalb County CEO pleaded Tuesday with residents of the community not to create a new city or seek annexation into Atlanta.
DeKalb County's government will be more responsive to the Druid Hills community, and its residents shouldn't seek to start a new city or request annexation into Atlanta, the county's interim CEO Lee May said Tuesday.
May pleaded with the residents at a town hall meeting in Druid Hills on Tuesday night that also included representatives from the Atlanta mayor's office who offered information on how an annexation would take place, according to Atlanta Intown.
From the story:
The Druid Hills community has been weighing its options after ongoing disputes with the county and suspended CEO Burrell Ellis, who neighborhood leaders accused of being unresponsive. One of those disputes has been the Druid Hills Civic Association lawsuit to prevent a developer from building seven homes on a small lot on Clifton Road.
