City of Dunwoody Issues Stop Work Order on Trailers at Dunwoody High School


The City of Dunwoody issued a Stop Work Order over trailers placed on Dunwoody High School property over the July 4th weekend.   The City indicated the trailers were  placed without the proper work permits. 

Per the article in Reporter Newspapers:  "Community Development Director Richard McLeod said the stop-work order was issued Monday morning because the work was done without receiving a land disturbance permit as required by city ordinance and a 2017 memorandum of understanding agreement between the city and the school district."

Not a good look DCSD.

More Apartments on the Horizon for Dunwoody School District?




According to this article in the AJC, the former "Friday's Plaza" on Tilly Mill Road could see redevelopment.  The article states that:  "It’s a bleak shopping center just outside the Perimeter in Doraville, but developers are hoping to change that. A large-scale redevelopment could give new life to the property through a mix of retail and more than 300 apartments.

I believe this area is in the Hightower Elementary/Peachtree Charter Middle School/Dunwoody High School attendance zone.  How would this new development affect an already massively overcrowded attendance area?  Would this development "jump start" the conversation within DCSD for a new high school in North DeKalb?
