1. Druid Hills and Cityhood – Why is this happening to us
Druid Hills and Cityhood – Why is this happening to us? What are we doing?
Committee to Explore Options for
Cityhood or Annexation of the
Druid Hills Neighborhood
Mike St. Louis, Chair
Anne Wallace, Co-Chair

2. Why are we in this situation?
Cityhood initiatives to the North that:
Create demographically homogeneous enclaves
Gerrymander to be politically predictable
Cherry pick commercial property in a beggar-thy-neighbor fashion that reduces economic viability of remaining unincorporated DeKalb
Issues with DeKalb County that disrupted long-standing trust and understandings with DH

3. DHCA Approach to Date
Gain awareness by forming a workgroup to follow and study the issue
Inform the community
Represent the community effectively by understanding community perspectives and preferences

4. Recommendations to Neighbors

Reminder: This will be a marathon,
