Come out this Sunday, June 26, from 12-3, to the NeighborFest in front of the Neighborhood Church on McLendon. We will have a table along with the CPNO Infrastructure Committee (McLendon "Safe Street" initiative) to help spread the word about these community projects and accept your questions and input. It sounds like there will be lots of other fun "community, justice, and faith"-based activities and participants. We can't wait to see you there! 164 neighbors participated in the committee survey and shared their opinions on Candler Park's architecture, support and concerns about a potential historic district. See the Summary of Results.
