CID Stakeholders,
Thank you for your continued involvement and support of the Chamblee Doraville CID. We represent the voice of more than 100 commercial real estate owners and many more businesses in an exciting and fast-growing area within metro Atlanta.
Our goal is simple, but our efforts are complex. We work with government partners to strengthen and improve the community's infrastructure to ensure the future prosperity of our businesses and real estate investors.
Enclosed is a summary of last month's activities as well as items relevant to the upcoming Board meeting. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Best,
Malaika Rivers
Executive Director
