County Commissioner Sabrena Smedley and City Councilman Larry Grohn are teaming up for a public meeting Monday, Nov. 24 to discuss the growth and development coming to the area.
The meeting will take place at East Brainerd Church of Christ, 7745 E. Brainerd Road, at 6:30 p.m.
Former longtime City Council representative Jack Benson hosted similar meetings for his constituents in District 4, a tradition Grohn continued after beating Benson for the council seat in 2013. Those residents as well as those from Hamilton County districts 7 and 8 are invited to the upcoming meeting.
“The way our districts are broken up they all border each other, so we are combining efforts,” Smedley said. “We have also invited state representatives who also represent these areas.”
At the meeting, residents will be able to hear the latest information on the East Brainerd Road widening project, as well as discuss recent economic developments. Progress toward other street transportation projects – including Davidson, Jenkins, Morris Hill and Igou Gap roads – will also be discussed.
