DeKalb County's newest community improvement district is kicking off its economic development efforts with a community meeting in August.

The Stone Mountain CID hopes to gather public input on its development plans at the session. The meeting runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 15 at Eagle Rock Distributing, 1375 Beverage Dr., near Stone Mountain.

Businesses in the district tax themselves fund operations such as roadway improvements and landscaping. The goal is to add 2,000 new jobs to the area by the end of 2013.
