The East Metro DeKalb Community Improvement District recently named Christopher Sanders as executive director. Sanders, who most recently served as an assistant director of the Georgia Department of Revenue, will oversee the daily operations of the East Metro DeKalb CID as well as engage property owners and stakeholders to coordinate economic redevelopment projects throughout the Wesley Chapel/Panola Road corridor.

The CID formed in 2014 through a vote of the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners, and accounts for more than 205 commercial property owners. Before Sanders’ hire the district’s administrative tasks were performed by the Nickel Works Consulting firm, led by Nicole Hall.

“Christopher Sanders is the best choice to connect our CID with stakeholders and other communities of interest,” East Metro DeKalb CID Chairman of the Board Frederick Daniels said. “He has strong experience in government-related administration, and we expect him to thrive as our executive director.”
