What do we want this community to look like in 10 years? What kind of businesses do we want to attract? How dense should the development be? In partnership with the Greater Hidden Hills Community Development Corporation, DeKalb County is conducting a study to update the Hidden Hills Overlay District. This overlay was established in 2009 to provide customized zoning requirements to best meet the development goals of the community and to protect greenspace. With this study, the County will update these standards to meet current development trends and better promote the community’s vision. Join us by sharing your input!

The overlay district runs from Covington Hwy to Redan Road, S. Hairston to Panola. Dozens of neighborhoods within and around this area are affected by the code. View the map, take the survey, and learn more about the project by clicking the link below:

The effort improves our quality of life and helps attract quality development. Stay informed about what’s happening in our parks and join us in making them welcoming for all. 
Volunteers are heading back to the trails, clearing brush, marking trail edges, and picking up trash. Join the fun! Please dress for the weather and bring your water bottle. Friends of Hairston Park will provide snacks, tools and gloves.
Sixteen people helped us root out invasive plants that are killing trees in Biffle Park. Volunteers removed English ivy and privet, focusing on areas near the path and bridges. They also picked up litter.
Our work removing English ivy uncovered a native plant called Pipsissewas, which grows in well drained woodlands. This tiny plant, only 1 to 3 inches long, will sprout short stalks with white or pink flowers soon. It is a member of the wintergreen family. Many Native Americans traditionally used it to break up kidney stones and treat various ailments.
