South DeKalb meeting Saturday focuses on housing

The South DeKalb Improvement Association will host a housing expert at a meeting Saturday to discuss property values.

Lyonel LaGrone Jr., director of enforcement at Metro Fair Housing Services, argues that banks artificially keep appraisals low in the southern part of DeKalb, compared to other parts of the county.

The meeting runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Acts of Faith Baptist Church, inside Glenhaven United Methodist Church, 4826 Glenwood Road, near Decatur.
