DeKalb County Commissioner Lorraine Cochran-Johnson will host a virtual Town Hall meeting on Thursday, March 11, at 6 p.m. to provide progress reports on existing and planned initiatives.
Heads of DeKalb County government departments will make presentations at the District 7 First Quarter Town Hall Zoom meeting. There will also be an update on Cochran-Johnson's partnership with PNC Bank and Operation HOPE to provide DeKalb County residents with financial dignity training, home ownership assistance, and resources for small business development and expansion.
"Economic development, home ownership and the fight against blight have seen significant advances, but COVID-19 has impacted service delivery in certain areas. I am eager to share our progress, departmental updates and future projects with District 7 residents," Cochran-Johnson says in a news release.
While Cochran-Johnson's District 7 includes the eastern half of DeKalb County, she says all county residents are welcome to register for the Town hall at http://bit.ly/3qOA8ID .
“Entering into the third year of my first term, I am proud of the progress District 7 has made towards the priorities I outlined during my campaign,” said Commissioner Cochran-Johnson.
The meeting is scheduled to feature presentations from the county's Roads and Drainage, Code Enforcement, Sanitation, Community Development, Public Safety, Watershed, Human Services and Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax departments.
"Information on how to report issues and submit requests will be shared as well as updates on departmental contacts and new service programs," Cochran-Johnson says.
“As DeKalb approaches its first full year of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is prudent residents are aware of the protocol changes each department has made to better serve the county,” she says.
