Neighbors, community leaders, county officials, are among those expected to brainstorm ideas about the plan, which is sponsored by DeKalb County Planning & Sustainability Department and the Atlanta Regional Commission, according to a press release shared by Commissioner Sharon Barnes Sutton's office.

The end-result will be a comprehensive development plan for the study area building on the LCI Plan created in 2002, the release said. Land use and transportation issues will be addresed in the plan.
