DeKalb approves new CID

DeKalb County Commissioners recently approved creating the East Metro DeKalb Community Improvement District for a 39-square mile swath in the eastern and southern part of the county.

The CID, a self-taxing district that funds improvements in the community, includes commercial property ranging from the Stonecrest Mall to Gresham Road. District members meet in June to elect a seven-member board to oversee operations.
