ATLANTA – Atlanta City Councilmember Keisha Lance Bottoms will host a District 11 Town Hall meeting at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 21 at Cascade United Methodist Church, 3144 Cascade Road S.W.
 
This third annual community town hall will give constituents a chance to discuss issues facing their neighborhoods, as well as speak with top city officials about a number of concerns.  Topics of discussion will include redistricting, code enforcement, crime reduction, sanitation, water bill disputes, and street paving.  Updates will also be given regarding on-going projects in District 11.
 
“The town hall is a wonderful opportunity for the community to receive information, as well as have issues immediately addressed by department heads,” said Bottoms. “It is my hope that we will build upon the community engagement we have established during my first two years in office.  Citizens have expressed their appreciation for the chance to meet face-to-face with the various departments.  With over 400 people in attendance at each of the previous District 11 town hall meetings, the community as a whole has been empowered to use the information they have received to maximize the quality of services they receive from the city.”
 
Mayor Kasim Reed has been invited as well as the following departments: the Mayor’s Office of Constituent Services; Solid Waste Services; Bureau of Code Enforcement; Department of Watershed Management; Atlanta Fire Rescue; Atlanta Police Department; Commission on Aging; Atlanta Workforce Development; Invest Atlanta; Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs; Planning and Community Development; Department of Public Works; and others.
