East Atlanta community leaders and business owners say they have watched their neighborhood change over the years.
Many say while their community has grown in diversity, rent increases and new development continue to push residents and businesses out.
On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Rose Scott heads to Joe’s East Atlanta Coffee Shop for the March installment of “Coffee Conversations.”
First, Scott talks with Sara Obregon, the owner of Joe’s East Atlanta Coffee Shop, about operating a small business amid rapid development and her ongoing efforts to support the East Atlanta community.
Scott then talks with District 5 Atlanta City Councilmember Liliana Bakhtiari about affordable housing and efforts to establish safe sidewalks and combat homelessness.
