Good Growth DeKalb 
I know that I was motivated by the rally and want to keep the pressure on! It would be great if GGD could provide a list of local politicians and county officials to whom we can write about this issue.
thanks
Tanya Cassingham
Great idea! We have an elected officials group who will help us get together lists soon. In the meantime, please join us on March 10 for an outreach walk to Decatur Square and on March 13 for our next GGD meeting. Learn more in the events section of the site.
