The applicants for the Druid Hills Baptist Church re-zoning (located in Poncey Highland, NPU-N) will present their proposed project for information and public comment at the Virginia-Highland Civic Association Board of Directors Meeting, on Monday, February 10, 7 PM at the Ponce de Leon Library, 980 Ponce de Leon Avenue NE.

The proposal preserves the sanctuary and contemplates a redevelopment of the existing activities building and adjacent parking lots to mixed-use residential/retail/commercial development (with new parking.) Though the development is not in Virginia-Highland, this informational presentation is mandated by the re-zoning process due to its proximity to and potential impacts on our neighborhood.
