EAST POINT, Ga. — Whether it’s the Commons area, Soccer in the Streets next to Oz Pizza or the Streetscape Project on Main Street, Downtown East Point has been going through a lot of changes lately. And it doesn’t end there. East Point’s city leaders are looking for feedback from its most crucial resource…its residents.

“What our goal is for this particular project is to have a citizen-driven plan. We want to get citizen input on the forefront rather than the backend,” stated Anthony Alston, East Point’s Senior Planner for Planning & Development, “That way people feel like they’re involved in the process. They know what’s going on from beginning to end.”
