SERVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF DRUID HILLS A COMMUNITY NESTLED IN THE HEART OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA |
We have high aspirations for the DHCA in 2022 and beyond. We are on our way to being an organization that consistently demonstrates its value to the neighborhood. “Connect neighbors, foster civic engagement, and steward the neighborhood’s beauty.” our new mission statement for the Druid Hills Civic Association |
Help us build on the momentum we started in 2021 From the time the Druid Hills Civic Association was established in 1938, we’ve accomplished some remarkable things. From helping to save our parks and our neighborhood from becoming a highway, to establishing Druid Hills as a historic district, we’ve done a lot. But as day-to-day lives have gotten busier and the way life is lived has changed, we are evolving, too! 2021 was a year of change for the DHCA. Our goal last year was to “do better” by adopting and starting to live by our new mission statement, “ Connect neighbors, foster civic engagement, and steward the neighborhood’s beauty.” We think we are well on our way, with a restructured board, some very fun and successful community events, and lots of progress in our newly formed Parks & Greenspace committee. As people become more and more comfortable participating in-person, and with the return of the Druid Hills Home & Garden Tour and Olmsted 200, we expect a fantastic 2022! Together, let's build a neighborhood sense of community A huge focus for us is to foster a genuine sense of community and a real neighborhood feel in Druid Hills. We want to create opportunities for neighbors to:

Owning a property in a historic district goes a long way in ensuring that your home’s value is protected and consistently increasing. The DHCA can help you navigate your district’s regulations when planning modifications to your property.
Let us be a partner who can offer guidance on what changes will likely be acceptable (or unacceptable) to your district’s planning board. We will always be stewards of the amazing green space that Druid Hills is so fortunate to enjoy. Your membership will help us implement a new annual plan with Trees Atlanta to replace loss of our tree canopy. It will also help us invest in the protection of our often-overlooked Lullwater and Peavine Creeks. Make safety a priority We recognize that our county is focused on fixing some major infrastructure issues, like replacing old sewer and water lines. Repairing sidewalks and addressing other public safety hazards have fallen to the bottom of their list of to-dos. The DHCA is a strong voice representing our interests with elected officials to get these issues dealt with. Your membership helps fund our Safe Sidewalk campaign to help repair some of the more dangerous walkways. Our Neighborhood Watch program helps keep our residents in the know with monthly crime reports. We believe that neighbors who know each other look out for each other, and that is our most effective method of deterring crime. |
