The Evermore Community Improvement District recently released updates on the organization’s efforts to improve the Highway 78 corridor.

The CID’s landscaping crew recently removed juniper located in an island at Rockbridge Road and Stone Mountain Highway/Ga. 78 and replaced it with liriope.

Along with growing plants, the CID is growing new businesses. According to their newsletter, “The Stone Mountain Toyota Dealership development is nearing completion and the Gwinnett Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram building additions are underway. A new Chick-fil-A is under construction near Walton Court and Quikslik Fleet Services has begun construction on Jessica Daron Court.”
