The following message was forwarded to ADNA from Richard Orr at Central Atlanta Progress / Atlanta Downtown Improvement District. ADNA and CAP/ADID have been working together on this issue and thus we would like to pass the message along.
Background: As you might be aware, after a recent eight-hour meeting,
the City Council's Community Development Committee voted to forward
back to Council a resolution related to State funding for the
Peachtree-Pine shelter. The resolution moves forward with a
recommendation to "file". Basically, that position allows the
resolution to die.
We urge you to share your opinion on this issue with members of City
Council. You may find the draft message below to be useful. A list of
City Council e-mails are also below. If you wish to share your
opinion, please do so before August 20, 2007.
