Atlanta, GA--  (Submitted by Fulton County Communications)

The Fulton County Department of Environment and Community Development has decided to postpone the Community Zoning Information Meeting (CZIM) that was planned for Thursday, January 13, 2011 because of the inclement weather conditions.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at the South Service Center (5600 Stonewall Tell Road, College Park, GA) from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in conjunction with the regularly scheduled Community Zoning Board Meeting which begins at 7:00 PM. 

The purpose of the CZIM is to foster communication between zoning applicants and the community. The rescheduling of the CZIM is deemed to be the best course of action to insure our citizens do not miss this important meeting opportunity.  If you have additional questions please contact Morgan Ellington at 404-612-8049 or Randy Beck at 404-612-8053.
