Leukemia patient credits neighbors for pulling her through recovery BY CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Lauren Cessna was about to give up. The Redfield resident, who was diagnosed last summer with acute myeloid leukemia, a rare and deadly type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow, underwent a bone marrow transplant in December using cells harvested from her father. While the transplant was successful, tests revealed a mutation that could have caused the leukemia to return. Her physicians recommended rounds of chemotherapy to irradicate the mutation, known as MPM1, but the process was almost unbearable, because Cessna had undergone chemotherapy and whole-body radiation before her transplant. She also suffered from debilitating side effects like graft versus host disease. “After five rounds of chemotherapy, my quality of life had been reduced to nothing,” she said. “All I did was sleep. I was so tired. I was so sick. I was about to the point of giving up.” Cessna, who is married and the mother of 2-year-old Ava, said after the fifth round, the mutation was still present, and she was ready to roll the dice and explore the possibility of ending the chemotherapy “I asked my oncologist, ‘Is this something I can live with?’” she said. “Because I really couldn’t do it anymore. They asked me to do just one more round, which happened in June.” And then, the mutation disappeared. She received the news on Aug. 30. “When I found out, I was speechless, and crying, all at the same time,” Cessna said. “It was such a relief to finally get some good news.” The news spread like wildfire through the neighborhood, much as it did when Cessna was first diagnosed last year, when 200 “Lauren Strong” signs adorned yards throughout the Redfield subdivision. But this time, it was all about celebrating her latest news. Last Tuesday, the family woke up to a huge display in their yard that proclaimed, “Lauren Strong Cancer Free.” The outpouring of love and support throughout the process has been overwhelming, she said. “In a world where there is so much bad news, what people

have for me reminds me over and over again that people are good,” Cessna said. “The little things, like dropping off a dinner, a present for Ava, or a puzzle, made a big difference.” Cessna said she feels she has been given a second chance at life. Before the transplant, her chances of a full recovery were slim. Little is known about the disease, and it’s extremely rare that a healthy 32-year-old woman would be diagnosed with AML. Now, the statistics are in her favor. “With a successful transplant and no mutation, there’s a 60- to 70-percent chance of a full recovery,” she said. “I can now think about a future that involves less time in the clinic, a reduction in medication, my hair growing back, possibly going back to work, and so many other things.” While she is grateful for her medical team, Cessna said her friends and neighbors provided a never-ending supply of optimism that was invaluable as she battled through the grueling procedures. “There is another side, the mental side, that doctors can’t provide,” she said. “I can’t put into words what this neighborhood means to me.”

DUNWOODY, Ga. — With economic growth showing no signs of slowing down in Dunwoody, city officials have begun looking at ways to help its suburban and urban areas coexist. In July, the city issued a request for proposals to hire a consultant who would create a vision, known as Dunwoody Edge City 2.0, for the portion of Perimeter Center within Dunwoody. The proposals were due early this month. Michael Starling, director of Dunwoody Economic Development, said the city is looking for three basic outcomes from the consultant: a vision for what the next 20 years could look like; a 3-D model of the vision; and a financial analysis of how it could impact the city. The project will also be based on three different growth scenarios — low, medium and high. “We sort of have two Dunwoody’s right now,” Starling said. “We have our single-family, suburban residential neighborhoods, and then we have Perimeter Center (largely made up of office and retail space), and they don’t

Police arrest Atlanta man for refusing to leave store DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police were called to the Target along Perimeter Center Place for reports of a suspicious man prowling outside the front doors after hours Aug. 24. Officers responded shortly after 1:30 a.m. and encountered Derrick L. Collins, a 28-year-old Atlanta man. Police said he refused to leave the location and relocate to a nearby hotel around which vagrants commonly commune during pre-dawn hours. Officers noted he was the same person who refused to leave a Ross location a few hours earlier. Employees at the Target said the

PUBLIC SAFETY front door was ajar while overnight crews working on renovations used it to enter the store. They called police because they were concerned about Collins outside. Police said Collins grew agitated when they pressured him to leave the area. He left twice, but came back both times. Police said he then became “loud and aggressive” and threw a trash can lid on the ground. Officers trespassed Collins from the Target. He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and loitering and prowling.

Man taken into custody for alleged identity fraud DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a College Park man who reportedly tried to steal someone’s identity to upgrade his phone at a Verizon store along Perimeter Center West on Aug. 24.

Alpharetta private school employee arrested on child pornography charges By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Tarik Uduk, a 25-year-old employee at Fulton Science Academy, was arrested Aug. 30 and charged with possessing child pornography and inappropriate contact with a child on the internet. Detectives are still investigating whether any of the victims were his current or former students at the Alpharetta school. Uduk, of Sandy Springs, is being held at the Fulton County Jail without bond and is facing 10 counts of possession of child sexually abusive material and one count of obscene internet contact with a child —both felony charges. Sandy Springs Police spokesman Sgt. Salvador Ortega said detectives received a tip Aug. 25 from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a person uploading child sexually abusive

material onto an online server. With assistance from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, detectives discovered the images were uploaded from a home in Sandy Springs and identified Uduk as a suspect. Ortega said multiple sexually explicit images and videos depicted minors between the ages of 12 and 15. “Our detectives continue to analyze all the content of the electronic devices owned by the suspect, to search for additional evidence of child sexually abusive material and to determine if any of the victims in the images are students that were in contact with Mr. Uduk,” Ortega said. Uduk was arrested without incident Aug. 30 at the Fulton Science Academy in Alpharetta, where he is listed online as an assistant to the athletic director. According to online jail records, the offense date was June 14. Ortega said this investigation is part

One of the workers at the Verizon store told officers that Weiters presented a fake driver’s license with another man’s name. He said he wanted to get a new phone. The clerk sensed that the ID was fake and called the actual account holder. The customer said his identity was recently stolen and someone was stealing money from his bank account. He said the man in the store had no authorization to upgrade a phone on his account. That prompted the Verizon associate to call 911. Police arrived and found the fake Iicense in Weiters’ wallet along with his actual ID.

The program was created by the U.S. Department of Justice in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet, the proliferation of child sexually abusive material and the heightened online activity by predators searching for unsupervised contact with underage victims, Ortega said. Those with information on the case should contact Det. H. Reich at HReich@SandySpringsGA.gov or call 770-551-6923.

Cities plan memorial services to commemorate 9/11 attacks BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America. Almost 3,000 people were lost that morning after two planes were flown into the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one crashing in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In remembrance of the historic, tragic day in our country’s history, cities across Metro Atlanta are holding memorial events to pay their respects. Residents in Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Johns Creek, Dunwoody and Forsyth County have scheduled events to commemorate the day. Here is a look at the local services: Dunwoody Dunwoody will remain silent in terms of commemorative events. Members of the Dunwoody Police Department are wearing commemorative badges and pins to recognize the 9/11 anniversary. Alpharetta The Alpharetta Rotary Club is partnering with the city to stage a community remembrance of the 9/11 attack beginning at 8:15 a.m. Saturday on the City Green in downtown. Seating for 250 will be in place, but others may stand or find seats on the turf. City Councilman and Rotarian John Hipes, who helped introduce the annual Memorial Day service to Alpharetta in 2015, said the 9/11 event will focus entirely on emergency first responders. Scheduled to coincide with the

NEWS

time events unfolded 20 years ago, the program will begin with short video presentations. The official ceremony opens at 8:30 with an invocation, the Pledge of Allegiance and “The National Anthem.” Emcee for the program will be airwave and podcast personality William Choate, known as Cadillac Jack. Mayor Jim Gilvin will deliver remarks, and Alpharetta Department of Public Safety Director John Robison will present the keynote address. “It is said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” Gilvin said. “If so, it is the sacred duty of every American to make sure the people of this great country never forget the horrible attacks that took place on September 11th, 2001. Those of us old enough to remember will never forget the impact that day had on our lives and our nation, but more than 100 million Americans are too young to remember what took place on 9/11. So, as we approach the 20th anniversary of that tragic day, it is more important than ever before that we share our memories of the horrific evil and the amazing heroism that took place on that sunny September morning in 2001. We must never forget, to make sure it never happens again.” The Downtown Alpharetta Farmers Market, held each Saturday from April through October, will open at the City Green following the ceremony. Roswell Roswell is choosing to remain silent in remembering this day. According

Dunwoody food hall owner plans opening by year’s end By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Supply chain issues created by the pandemic delayed the grand opening of a new dining court in Dunwoody, but the owner is undaunted. The Hall at Ashford’s grand opening won’t be until the end of the year, but owner Jamal Wilson said construction continues as necessary supplies have become available. Wilson and his colleagues at The Hall Properties have already rented out six of the space’s nine restaurant stalls and are actively speaking with five other vendors to round out the collection. “We just want to get the right mix that works for the area, and we also want to involve some local talent,” Wilson said. When patrons enter the food hall, they will have the full menus of all nine vendors at their fingertips, getting to mix and match items and build their ideal meal from scratch. “You’re able to walk the space and enjoy it, as you would a normal food hall, but you can also sit down and order from wait staff, and we deliver the food and drink directly to you,” Wilson said. “So, it’s kind of a full-service restaurant experience with the diversity of multiple kitchens.” Dunwoody chef Teresa Acosta is one of The Hall at Ashford Dunwoody’s six contracted vendors. Acosta won a nationwide competition with her specialty meal of a Cuban sandwich and Yuca fries in February, earning her a complimentary vendor stall in The Hall. Joining Acosta are the Fork & Hen which specializes in Southern fried

chicken, Wabi Sabi, an Asian street food concept, The Chef & I, straight out of Nashville, Tennessee, Huli Bowl, which serves poke bowls and Hawaiian barbeque rotisserie chicken, and Itzayana a Mexican concept that specializes in fluffy tacos. Beyond giving visitors variety in their meals, the design is also more cost effective for the chefs. “Your typical restaurant of say, 4050 seats is somewhere between a $500$700,000 investment,” Wilson said. “But with us, you get into the space for $100,000 and we’re able to provide close to 300-400 seats with every restaurant able to sell to every seat.” The Hall will also include three bars, a Topgolf simulator, lounge areas and a private dining room with a full-service kitchen so vendors can cater to private dining experiences as well. While a formal economic impact estimate has not been calculated, Wilson said the $5 million facility will employ somewhere between 75-100 peoples for both front and back of house jobs. Wilson’s first food hall, The Hall on Franklin, opened in Tampa, Florida, in 2017. Its success has spurred the Dunwoody project as well as new developments in Midtown Tampa, Orlando and Snellville. Dunwoody city officials have shared their enthusiasm for the development. “The Hall at Ashford Lane is an exciting project that will bring new energy to the area,” Dunwoody Economic Development Director Michael Starling said. “People who live and work in Dunwoody have been watching the transformation of Ashford

Understanding your Healthcare Options Brought to you by – Lyubov Abrams, Health Insurance Broker My client rang me last night. He was on his way to the hospital and wanted to know if his emergency visit would be covered. As I tried my best ABRAMS to reassure him that he should focus on taking care of his health not his insurance at this time, part of me did think about all the Americans out there who are worried about going to their doctors, hospitals and other medical facilities because they too are concerned that their insurance won’t cover their procedures. The truth is medical debt takes the prize for the staggering crisis in our healthcare industry. We all want to save money on our insurance premiums but at what cost to our coverage? In a world full of options, it is difficult to pull through the weeds and really un-

derstand what option is best for you and your family. There are many luring and attractive offers for health coverage on the market but it’s important to understand the risks that come with such options. The old saying when it sounds too good to be true it probably is, definitely applies here. Whether you are an individual, family, or small business it’s important to consider the risks and benefits of the plan you choose before you sign the dotted line. Some plans have limited benefits and don’t meet the minimal essential coverage requirements, others will reimburse up to a specified benefit amount with no out of pocket maximum, and some meet ACA requirement but have HMO networks that can keep you from being covered with your doctors. When choosing a plan, the key items to focus on are: network (PPO, HMO, EPO, POS to name a few), your deductible and coinsurance, maximum out of pocket, policy term and policy maximum, and exclusions. No one wants to read a 100 page policy, but it’s important to have a general understanding of your policy when you

sign up because you don’t want to be left with any surprise bills. Additionally, many carriers offer a 10 day free look period for the sole purpose of making sure consumers understand what they signed up for. These are consumer protections that every individual should take advantage of. Like many of my customers, Kevin wanted to feel secure with the coverage he selected. He was an affluent businessman, made too much to qualify for a subsidy, and was looking for catastrophic coverage with a strong PPO network. I recommended a short term medical plan that not only suited his needs but also his budget. There are several private plans that healthy individuals, families, and businesses could greatly benefit from. As long as there is a mutual understanding of the limitations of such private plans, I have seen many clients take advantage of the lower premiums and PPO networks these plans have to offer. For those of us with pre existing conditions, your options are rather limited. However, even when selecting a market-

place plan it is highly encouraged to make sure your doctors are in network and your prescriptions are covered. After all, what is the point of having coverage if you can’t see your providers and you have to pay out of pocket for your medications? These are all things to consider when choosing the right plan. And while it is tempting to go online and sign up on your own, buyers beware. There is fine print to every policy. Unless you are working with a trained professional, you probably aren’t aware of what you are signing up for. It’s always a good idea to trust an expert, but be weary of agents that only discuss the benefits of a policy and leave out the items that are not covered. As we have all witnessed last year, life is truly unexpected. One minute we are having parties and the next minute we are all quarantined. We can’t predict the future but we can take the steps necessary to ensure that we have the right coverage in place in case something does happen. If you have any questions about your current plan, a future plan, individual and group plans alike, please reach out to me.

Events: Continued from Page 3 to local officials, there are no events planned on the city’s calendar. Milton The City of Milton scheduled a proclamation and presentation for public safety personnel at the Sept. 8 City Council meeting. Representatives from the city’s police and fire departments were to be on hand to participate in the event to commemorate the anniversary. Firefighters and police officers will also participate in a special ceremony at Milton High School on the morning of Sept. 10 before the school day begins. Due to health and safety protocols, Fulton County Schools has decided to close the school-led event to the public. To incorporate student participation, the ceremony is being held one day before the anniversary to close out the school week. Private events will also be held at the city’s firehouses. On Sept. 11, the city will have a contingent from its Fire

DUNWOODY, Ga. — All Saints Boy Scout Troop 434 in Dunwoody recently awarded Bobby Cicchillo with its highest rank, Eagle Scout. His Eagle Scout project was constructing portable hand sanitizer stations for the Dunwoody Nature Center. He is the son of Dr. Kelleen Fitzgerald and Richard Cicchillo, Jr. of Sandy Springs. Cicchillo joined Troop #434 in 5th grade. Prior to that, he was a Cub Scout with St. Jude Pack 623. He said his most memorable experiences in

Boy Scouts have been making many new friends and playing cards at Camp Woodruff. He attributes his scouting success to his parents who have encouraged him along the way and helped him gain more confidence. Cicchillo, 17, is a senior at Marist School where he plays tennis. He is also a retreat leader and a peer leader who assists new students. After high school graduation, he plans to go to college and obtain a degree in history or business.

Forsyth County The county will hold a special ceremony leading up to the anniversary on Sept. 10 at 10 a.m. at Fowler Park located on Carolene Way. The public event will be at the park’s picnic pavilion at the open lawn hill. It is set to feature remarks from Forsyth County Fire Chief Barry Head and Sheriff Ron Freeman, a formal presentation of Colors by the Fire Department and Sheriff’s Office Honor Guards, a Chestatee River Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution wreath-laying ceremony, and special recognition of first responders. “There is not a day that passes that first responders do not think, in some way, of what happened on that Tuesday morning two decades ago,” Head said in a statement. “We do our best to honor our brothers and sisters that sacrificed all that day to save as many lives as possible in the face of almost certain peril.” Face coverings and social distancing are strongly encouraged. Parking is available by the pavilion near the playground in the open lawn area.

Johns Creek In partnership with the Rotary Club of Johns Creek and the Rotary Club of Johns Creek North Fulton, residents are invited to attend a Patriot Day commemoration event in remembrance of the anniversary. The commemoration is scheduled for Sept. 11 at 8:30 a.m. at Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church on Alabama Road. The event will also honor survivors and first responders. Former U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Glenn Spears, resident and survivor Beth Zampieri, and U.S. Navy Commander Kimberly George will be presenting along with musical performances by the Autrey Mill Middle School Chorus. Johns Creek Fire and Police departments will also participate in the event, and donations will be accepted in support of the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation and charities supported by the two Rotary clubs. Attendees are encouraged to practice social distancing and wear face coverings in accordance with CDC guidelines.

OPINION

Do your part for healthy trout There seems to be no shortage of news concerning diseases these days. Now, the “disease” word has come to the world of trout fishing. I wish that preceding sentence was a cleverly STEVE HUDSON crafted lead-in to a piece Get Outside Georgia, on “fishing fever,” which aa4bw@comcast.net really isn’t too bad a disease to have. But that’s not the case. It seems that two serious diseases of trout – Whirling Disease (WHD) and Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) – have turned up in hatchery-reared trout from Georgia’s trout hatcheries at Buford (on the Chattahoochee River just downriver from Buford Dam) and in Summerville. They pose a potentially significant threat to the state’s trout, and so it’s no surprise that the situation is being carefully monitored by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division (WRD). “While neither WHD or IHNV are harmful to humans, these diseases can cause high trout mortalities in hatchery systems and in the wild, and there are no known therapeutic treatments to eliminate these pathogens,” said WRD Chief of Fisheries Scott Robinson. “As a result, Georgia WRD

has temporarily suspended its trout stocking program and is in the process of collecting additional trout samples for disease analysis, investigating the source for both pathogens, and identifying disinfectant methodologies for treating the hatcheries.” According to Sarah Baker, Georgia WRD’s trout biologist, the simultaneous appearance of WHD and IHNV is just coincidence. “As soon as we started seeing symptoms in our fish,” Sarah says, “we started working with our labs to see why.” Testing showed that both diseases were present, she adds. Whirling disease is the better known of the two maladies. While this is its first documented occurrence in Georgia, it’s been known since 1958 in other parts of the U.S. Currently, it’s present in more than 20 states, including North Carolina where it showed up in 2015. Whirling disease is caused by a parasite known as Myxobolus cerebralis, which spreads through two hosts – a Tubifex worm (a small aquatic worm) and (unfortunately) fish such as trout. The life cycle of that parasite is complex, but here’s the short version. Once inside the worm, the parasite’s spore changes form into what’s called a “TAM.” The TAM eventually leaves the worm and enters the water flow, where it may come

into contact with a salmonid – a trout, in other words. At that point the TAM enters the fish’s body and travels along its central nervous system to affect the fish’s head and spine. The invader multiplies rapidly, causing pressure and disrupting the fish’s equilibrium. The result? Affected fish can no longer swim normally (in fact, they swim with a whirling motion) and thus have difficulty feeding and evading predators. This can lead to mortalities upwards of 90 percent in young rainbow trout and can have serious impacts on wild and hatchery trout populations. How can you tell if a trout is infected by whirling disease? “The most obvious symptom is a kinked tail that’s indicative of the skeletal deformity,” Sarah says. Other signs, she adds, include pronounced darkening of the back fins and of course that telltale sporadic movement. The second part of this one-two punch is a disease known as Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus. Sarah notes that it too has not previously been found in Georgia, though it has been documented in salmonids in the Pacific Northwest. The disease is caused by the Salmonid Novirhabdovirus and is passed through contact with urine, mucus and other fluids from infected fish. All species of trout are susceptible, and this virus can cause high trout mortalities in hatchery systems and in the wild. Infected fish may be lethargic and may exhibit whirling behavior, dark-

ened coloration, and swelling in the head and abdomen. Occasionally, she adds, bulging eyes may be noted. How did these diseases come to be present in Georgia hatcheries? “That’s one thing we’re investigating,” Sarah says. “A lot of rainbow trout get moved around the country,” she adds, and that might have been the source. Another possibility is that disease agents might have transferred in (possibly through TAMs) via water brought into the hatcheries along with trout eggs. Is there a chance that water discharged from the Buford hatchery could carry these diseases into Atlanta’s storied Chattahoochee tailwater trout fishery? “We are not sure,” Sarah says, adding that researchers are actively investigating to find out. “It really is kind of a wait and see. There is a lot we still don’t know.” What should you do if you catch a trout that you think may be affected by WHD or IHNV? Here are suggestions from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division. • Take photos and video of the fish, including close-ups of its spine. • Note where it was caught (the name of the stream or other body of water as well as landmarks or GPS coordinates if possible). If you observe the symptoms of these diseases in any fish you catch, please let the Wildlife Resources Division know by e-mail at trout@dnr.ga.gov.

OBITUARIES H. David Buttorff, age 90 of Sandy Springs passed on to his heavenly home on August 22, 2021. He was born in Louisville, KY on April 28, 1931 to the late Dr. Gordon Stephen and Sara Ruddell Buttorff, the youngest BUTTORFF of five children. He was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Martha Wagner Buttorff and his siblings, Gordon Stephen, Jean Eaton, Mack Prinz and Barry Stewart. Left to cherish David’s memory are his four children; Karen Sharp, Kathleen (Richard) Otto, David Gregory and Sarah (David) Sikes; his nine grandchildren; and 6 great-grandchildren. David obtained his private pilot’s license as a teenager to serve in the Civil Air Patrol with his Father. He attended Indiana University and upon the death of his Father, he transferred to and graduated from the University of Louisville. He married Martha Lee Wagner, then served in the United States Army as a Sergeant and Army Medic during the Korean War. David was a Patriot and had a great love for his country. After the war, he worked as an executive with Pennwalt Chemical Corporation until his retirement. After retirement he enjoyed working as a substitute teacher, real estate agent and served as President of the

Vision: Continued from Page 1 always work with one another. Sometimes, they work against one another.” Merriam-Webster defines an edge city as a suburb that has developed its own political, economic and commercial base independent of the central city. Other edge cities in the area are Sandy Springs, Roswell and Alpharetta. However, Dunwoody became Atlanta’s first edge city in the early 2000s, after the development of Perimeter Mall sparked an early expansion. Starling said this has led to issues such as overcrowding in the school system. “Residents have basically said that until we can fix our school system, they don’t want to see much new residential development, and so most of our single-family neighborhoods are built out,” Starling said. “I think our last large plot of property that could have been developed for single-family residential the city actually bought for a park a couple of weeks ago, so every time somebody comes up with a new

She GROBNER was married to the love of her life, Wayne Grobner for 58 years. Meg began her successful real estate career in East Windsor, NJ. Upon her family’s transfer to Atlanta, she continued working in the real estate industry at Buckhead Brokers and Caldwell Banker in different capacities and retired in 2010. After retirement, Meg volunteered weekly at St Joseph’s Hospital as a patient advocate for 10 years. Meg’s kindness and humor brought love and joy to everyone she encountered.

Atlanta Professional Tennis Umpires Association. He was an avid tennis player and passed along his love of the game to his daughters. David and Martha both volunteered with the USTA and promoted the sport among junior players. His family was chosen as the USTA Southern Tennis Family of the Year in 1997. David’s legacy of character and faith in God is carried by each of his four children. It was his most important mission in life. He will be remembered as a beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather. He believed that every day was an opportunity to live life to the fullest and to bring honor and glory to God. He was a gracious and genteel man, always having time for others and giving of himself. He was a member of the Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, GA, and commissioned by the Governor of Kentucky into the Honorable Order of the Kentucky Colonels. A celebration of his life will be held at Church of the Apostles, Atlanta, GA on October 14, 2021 at 11:30 AM. A 3:00 PM Interment will follow at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, GA. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that memorial gifts be made in David’s name to Leading the Way, a ministry proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ or Kentucky School for the Blind.

plan to develop in Perimeter, there’s typically a lot of pushback from the community.” Another issue, he said, is with the “missing middle,” meaning there are a lot of apartments and family residential housing in Dunwoody, but there are few options in between, such as condos for young professionals or retirees. Starling said that will be another big conversation the city will need to have with developers in the future. And although the long-term economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has yet to be seen, Starling said it is likely it will impact future office and retail development. “I don’t think there’s a doubt the mall will be a big conversation piece as part of this,” Starling said. “It’s the biggest piece of property in Perimeter. It’s really one of the economic engines for the city, but obviously, malls are changing, and we’ve known that for quite some time so I think it will have an impact.” Starling said he doesn’t know how the mall fits into the plan, but developers will take it into account for any visions they may have. “We certainly hope once we get this

vision into place, developers will look to that vision to either modify their projects or maybe even spur new concepts out of those,” he said. One thing is for sure. Starling said the project will include an extensive public engagement process. “One of the things we’ve asked the consultant to do is to lay out how they plan to get the public involved,” Starling said. “I think most of the project will be that. We’re not creating a new zoning code, a development plan per se. We’re really talking about a big picture vision, so we expect a significant amount of time and effort to be around getting as many voices as we can from the community involved.” The Atlanta Regional Commission awarded the city a Community Development grant of $120,000 in May to help fund the project. The city will match the grant with $15,000 of its own money. The Perimeter Community Improvement Districts and the Dunwoody Development Authority are contributing $7,500 each for a total project cost of $150,000. After the city selects a consultant, Starling said they expect to begin working on the project as soon as Nov. 1.
