The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) is hosting a new style of informational gathering here in Decatur on Saturday, January 11 from 3 – 5 p.m. They will transform the vacant storefront under Eddie’s Attic at 515 N. McDonough St. into a come-and-go community meeting. The topic is the latest update to the $61 billion Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), metro Atlanta’s framework for mobility and prosperity. ARC invites the community to come learn about transportation choices, ask questions and give them some critical input about how to make these kinds of important meetings more fun, informative and engaging.
The idea for this new style meeting stemmed from an overwhelming response to a community engagement survey last summer in which more than 2,000 people said they wanted more local, informal, innovative, fun and online options. They chose Decatur as the test-run location and if it proves to be successful, ARC will replicate it during future outreach efforts all over the region.
They also promise refreshments and prizes! Click here for more information.
