Decatur Metro | May 9, 2011John writes in…
The Midway Woods Neighborhood Association has elected officers for 2011-12: President Dana Perkins, Vice President Jessica Allen, Treasurer Daniel Sullivan and Secretary Sarra Everett.
The election was held May 4 at a meeting in Dearborn Park on Midway Road near Candler Road. DeKalb Commissioners Kathie Gannon and Larry Johnson spoke at the event. Over the past year, the association has focused on improvements to the park, including a new pedestrian bridge, tree-plantings and neighborhood work days to clear invasive plants. A development plan is in the works for Dearborn Park.
The neighborhood also started a community garden, began installing toppers on street signs, created a new neighborhood banner and started a website, http://www.midwaywoodsneighborhood.com. The neighborhood includes most of the area of unincorporated DeKalb and Decatur that is bounded by Columbia Drive, Memorial Drive, Candler Road and Kirk Road. It is part of DeKalb County schools & Druid Hills district.
