News Sembler meeting moved
Posted by Scott Henry @ScottTheHenry on Thu, Jan 17, 2008 at 11:26 PM
StandUp DeKalb, the homeowner group opposing the planned Sembler development, has spent the past week sending out notices to spur attendance at a Friday public hearing on the proposal.
Now, on the eve of the gathering, it seems the DeKalb school board has moved the meeting place – again. First, it was to be held at the system's Decatur headquarters. Then it was moved to Stone Mountain Middle School. Now it appears it's been moved once more to the William Bradley Bryant Center at 2652 Lawrenceville Highway, just inside I-285.
The Sembler proposal, you will recall, is for a $1 billion, live-work-shop complex on 100 acres at the southwest corner of Briarcliff and North Druid Hills.
Superintendent Crawford Lewis will deliver to the board a presentation of Sembler's offer to buy 30 acres of land containing three public schools and a football stadium. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. – for now.
