I got a press release from the CCC this morning, saying that Mayor Wharton will announce a new and innovative community policing strategy today at the CCC’s annual luncheon at the Peabody Grand Ballroom. I don’t know the details in advance, but those close to the program have hinted that it’s going to be very good and effective.
Also at the luncheon, County Mayor Joe Ford will speak about Downtown’s potential, and keynote speaker Shirley Franklin, former mayor of Atlanta, will speak on the role downtowns have in regional economic development.
