The city of Clarkston is seeking residents and business owners to help plan how to make the city an attractive destination for private investment and redevelopment.

These stakeholders could serve on a committee with city staff and a project management team to update its Livable Centers Initiative plan, a project that was chosen by the Atlanta Regional Commission to receive $80,000 in funding.

More information can be obtained by contacting Planning and Development Manager Jason Gaines at 404-296-6489 or jgaines@cityofclarkston.com.
