Norcross is accepting applications for volunteers interested in joining the Planning and Zoning Board and the Architectural Review Board.

The Planning and Zoning Board makes recommendations to the city council on rezoning applications, special use permits, and changes to the zoning ordinance. The recommendations of the board are not binding, but are meant to allow a full discussion and analysis of the development request.

The Architectural Review Board is charged with reviewing development proposals citywide. Developments requiring ARB approval include new permanent ground signs, new homes, new commercial buildings, changes to commercial buildings, and changes to homes in the National Historic District.

Yemaya Lyles (right) wipes away tears during a news conference in front of the Rockdale County Public Schools administration building on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023. Lyles' son, Antonio, was assaulted by a paraprofessional, who has since been fired and charged with battery. Lyles says her case against the school district has dragged on since then.
