NPU-O Meeting Scheduled for Jan. 22

Leadership nominations, zoning and alcohol issues on the agenda.

Neighborhood Planning Unit-OP meets tonight, Jan. 22, at 6:30 p.m. at the Branham Recreation Center, 2051 Delano Dr. NE.

We will be nominating and electing a Chair, Co-Chair, Secretary, and an Atlanta Planning Advisory Board representative.

Let me be blunt. If more do not participate and step up to lead you will be abdicating NPU-O's role representing the community and essentially giving City of Atlanta government free reign to do as they will without input or oversight from the neighborhoods it impacts.The choice is yours!
