DeKalb CEO meets with HUD officials

DeKalb County’s Chief Executive recently met with two top officials from the federal Housing and Urban Development department to talk regional projects.

The conversation between Burrell Ellis and Deputy HUD Secretary Ron Sims and Regional HUD Administrator Ed Jennings focused on ways to address housing, transportation and environmental issues in the larger community.

The trio also discussed DeKalb’s foreclosure registry, a list of the owners of foreclosed properties in the county designed to help the county keep track of code issues at those sites.
