The Decatur Housing Authority plans to redevelop the 24 apartments it owns on Oakview Road and is asking the public for its input.

“The Decatur Housing Authority is working to redevelop 34 apartments on Oakview Road to be affordable to people with low or fixed incomes,” the announcement from the city says. “We need your ideas to develop a community plan that improves transportation, education, access to jobs and health and community services.”

There will be two community meetings about this project.

The first will take place on Tuesday, May 2, from 6:30 p.m to 8:30 p.m. at Oakhurst Baptist Church, located at 222 East Lake Drive, Decatur GA 30030. There will also be a presentation at the Oakhurst Neighborhood Association’s quarterly meeting on Monday, May 8. The meeting will be held at The Solarium, 321 W Hill St, Decatur, GA 30030. The meeting is from 7 p.m to 8 p.m. Representatives from the Decatur Housing Authority, City Schools of Decatur, MARTA and the city will be there to answer questions.

In an announcement, Decatur Housing Authority director Doug Faust said, “I hope that you can join us at both meetings to provide your support for affordable housing in Decatur.”
