Jan. 31, 2026, 9am to noon
Join the Tree-Planting Team

Volunteers continue to beautify Hairston Road.  We invite you to join us as we plant dozens of trees along Hairston Road between Central Avenue and E. Ponce. This is part of the streetscape improvement in which Trees Atlanta and our community have planted close to 300 trees.. 

We look forward to our community showing up in force. Bring your friends! It is empowering to do something this simple that has such tremendous benefit. Trees provide cooler air and shade, help to clean and capture water, and improve habitat for wildlife and humans. In addition, attractive streetscapes stimulate investment.  

Trees Atlanta provides the tools. Please bring gloves and water. You may park at Change Church at 1170 N. Hairston. We are meeting shortly before 9 am on Jan. 31.

Let’s plan DeKalb’s future, together!

DeKalb County is updating the Zoning Ordinance for the first time in a decade — and the Sign Ordinance for the first time in 20 years!

As change and growth continue in the County, it’s important to revisit our priorities and ensure our ordinances support the needs and desires of the community. This update aims to align the Zoning Ordinance more closely with the 2050 Unified Plan and existing development patterns so that it better reflects the values and priorities of DeKalb’s residents and businesses.

Check out the Zone Dekalb FAQs to review commonly asked questions about the project. You can also download the project fact sheet.
