People who live, shop or work along a stretch of Memorial Drive are invited to participate in a workshop that will help determine future work in the area.
Wednesday's sessions are the latest step in the Memorial Drive Revitalization Corridor Plan, focusing on five miles between Interstate 285 and Stone Mountain. Earlier meetings and open houses were held in May and June.
On Wednesday, participants can attend a work session in the afternoon followed by presentations in the evening. Representatives from the county’s Planning and Sustainability department, as well as outside consultants, will work with residents to develop concepts for the corridor, which could include beautification, mixed-use developments and job creation.
