ADNA News & Events
Next ADNA Community Meeting Tues. April 8 at the Central Atlanta Library, 6:30pm. We came very close to being minus 3 downtown billboards due to tornado damage but unfortunately we've learned that the owners have the right to reconstruct! Jennifer Ball from Central Atlanta Progress will explain this and provide more information on Atlanta's billboard and signage approval process. Also ADNA Board Member Matt Jordan will lead a discussion with Zone 5 Commander Major Hagin about illegal drug activity on Broad Street in light of two recent CBS news reports, and ADNA Board Member Richard Hooker will explain the city's planned Water Surcharge as it affects downtown residents.
Refreshments by Fresh to Go on Peachtree donated by Intown
