Update: Phase I Development of ICP (this plan involves a lot of tree cutting + concrete through the remaining forest) —— 6pm Monday, June 1 —— DeKalb Police South Precinct 2842 H F Shepherd Dr., Decatur, GA 30034 Phase I…

development of a concrete trail (8’ wide with shoulders - approx 16’ wide) through the last strip of forest. Phase II - development of amenities on the clearcut land received in the swap (aka Michelle Obama Park, on Bouldercrest Rd) QUESTION: Why aren’t these Phases flipped? Instead of replacing forest with concrete, why isn’t DeKalb starting with the “Phase II” plan for the land in Bouldercrest Rd? (Aka the land acquired from #RyanMillsap) WHY BEGINNING WITH PHASE II MAKES SENSE: It would allow the CEO to buy back the 40-acres — which would automatically make Phase I unnecessary because it would restore public access to the original trailhead, the RC Airfield, the children’s garden, and the PATH. Starting with Phase II would advance community-led plans, save money, AND protect the forest from further destruction. Remember: In her own words, the CEO is willing to pay Fair Market Value for the swapped ICP land. And Millsap has few options left now that he knows the PEOPLE WILL NOT ALLOW A DATA CENTER! 👉 Tell the CEO to buy back ICP WHICH WOULD RESTORE ALL AMENITIES LOST!
