Letter from Commissioner Bolton:

I’m reaching out with an important update and an invitation for every member of our community to come together this Thursday, October 29th at 6:30 PM at Southwest DeKalb High School for a community meeting hosted by Claratel Behavioral Health. My office learned about the Claratel Care Homes project late last week. Since then, the District 3, 5 and Super District 7 offices have worked diligently and urgently to coordinate between the DeKalb County School District, Claratel Behavioral Health leadership, and our community to ensure that residents have an immediate opportunity to hear directly from project representatives.
