New Lenox Road
park in the works
Residents living in the Pine Hills
neighborhood will have access to more
green space after the city of Atlanta devel
ops a 2.54-acre tract along Lenox Road.
The city of Atlanta announced on
Feb. 20 it will purchase the land from
The Conservation Fund, a national non
profit dedicated to preserving areas for
recreational use.
The city’s cost will be $1.2 million, in
cluding environmental studies and closing
costs. A city press release describes the prop
erty as “treed, with mature stands of bam
boo, and has a creek running through it.”
It is within walking distance of Pine Hills
and the Lenox Road Corridor, the city said.
Additional green space is a top priori
ty for District 7 City Councilman How
ard Shook. The park will be in Shook’s
district. A 2008 study found District 7
had the fewest parks per capita of any
district in the city.
“This is a huge step forward in our ef-
fort to have everyone in Buckhead live
or work within a 10-minute walk to a
park,” Shook said in the press release.
The property is located at 3162
Lenox Road. Money to purchase it will
come from the city’s park impact fees.
There is a home on the property that the
city will have to demolish. The park’s
development will go through a planning
process with residents before it officially
opens, the city said.
APS hires firm for
superintendent
search
Atlanta Public Schools has retained
a search firm to look for a new school
superintendent, Board of Education
Member Nancy Meister said.
Meister and fellow board members
Yolanda Johnson and Brenda Muham
mad spoke to parents at the Feb. 27
North Atlanta Parents for Public Schools
meeting at Bolton Academy.
The board members spoke to parents
about topics ranging from school safe
ty to the procedure for approving char
ter schools.
BRIEFS
Meister, who’s district includes
North Atlanta High School, told the
audience that the search firm, PRO-
ACT, had been chosen to oversee the
city’s search for a new school superin
tendent, along with a search committee
made up of business, community and
student leaders.
“It is tricky because there is an elec
tion coming up, so there will be a new
board next year,” Meister told the group
of parents. “So, superintendents who ap
ply will naturally want to know who they
will report to. There’s kind of a lot of un
knowns out there.”
Coalition backs
stadium project
The Buckhead Coalition is putting its
support behind a proposal to use hotel-
motel tax money to help pay for a new
stadium for the Atlanta Falcons.
The coalition announced that its ex
ecutive committee on Feb. 27 approved
a resolution in favor of the project.
Registration open

Buckhead groups plan to offer res
idents a way to perform some “eco-
friendly” spring cleaning, according to
