| NCA Panel Discussion: New Falcons Stadium |
Friends:
You will not want to miss the next Northwest Community
Alliance (NCA) meeting -- Wednesday, May 16, 7pm at the
Senior Center, 1705 Commerce Drive, Atlanta, Ga. 30318.
You have all read about the proposed stadium being floated
by the Atlanta Falcons and the World Congress Center.
What do the adjacent neighborhoods (Vine City, English
Avenue, and Marietta Street Artery) say about it? If a new
stadium is coming, what is the potential for jobs for area
residents and how will it improve these neighborhoods?
Conversely, what unfulfilled promises still exist from the
development of the Georgia Dome and subsequent
expansions of the GWCC?
The panel is still coming together but we can confirm:
In addition to the issue of the stadium, we will be briefly
discussing the new Historic Westside Village Wal-Mart and
those ongoing negotiations. The NCA has negotiated Wal-
Mart developments in the past and will continue to assist in
any way the neighborhoods wants.
Special thanks to Mable Thomas and long term NCA Board
Member and Atlanta School Board VP Byron Amos for
helping put this program together.
We would remiss if we did not take time to thank Rep.
Kathy Ashe, for her long, productive service in the Georgia
House of Representatives. Rep. Ashe recently announced
her retirement and will have served 22 years by the end of
her term. She has actively participated our NCA meetings
over time and we look forward to her continued
participation in the NCA for years to come.
With thanks,
Mike Koblentz

| 2012 FUND RAISING DRIVE UNDERWAY |
The Northwest Community Alliance after
several years of adequate financing
primarily through the good graces of Bates
Ace Hardware is now seeking funding.
While we do not spend too many dollars we
need funding for our meeting space, food
suppliers and other expenses. For now
we will be collecting donations at our
meetings and we would appreciate any of
your generous support.
