Melissa at the ARC sends along this announcement…

The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) is hosting a new style of informational gathering from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11 that will transform an empty storefront in Downtown Decatur into a come-and-go public meeting.  It’s the first test-run of an idea we got from the overwhelming response to a community engagement survey conducted this summer.

In that survey, more than 2,000 metro residents said they wanted more local choices, different ways to engage and online options. They want informal connections, innovation and, dare we say it, fun. So, save the date and come try this first “Pop-up” conversation right here in Downtown Decatur.  It’s an idea we hope to replicate in communities all over the region.

This gathering is part of the latest update to the $61 billion Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), metro Atlanta’s framework for mobility and prosperity. ARC invites you to come learn about transportation choices, ask questions and give us some critical input about how to make these kinds of important meetings more fun, informative and engaging.

We need your help to pass along this message, so please share this message.  More information can be found at ARC’s website.

Looks to be at the old Sammiches and Stuff space on N. McDonough.
