Breaking News - DeKalb County Board of Commissioners Approves Feasibility Study for Countywide Community Land Trust The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners has approved $122,000 to fund a feasibility study to create a DeKalb County Community Land Trust, a critical step toward expanding affordable housing and promoting equitable development across the county. Community land trusts (CLTs) are nonprofit organizations that acquire and steward land for long-term community benefit. By separating ownership of the land from the ownership of homes built on it, CLTs help stabilize neighborhoods, ensure permanent affordability, and prevent displacement. Homeowners lease the land under their homes at a minimal cost, making homeownership more accessible while keeping housing prices stable for generations. “Establishing a DeKalb County Community Land Trust represents a bold and forward-thinking investment in the stability and sustainability of our communities,” said Commissioner Michelle Long Spears, Presiding Officer of the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners and sponsor of the legislation. “As a proven tool to address the housing crisis, a Community Land Trust will preserve long-term affordability, prevent displacement, and ensure that residents have access to safe, secure housing for generations to come. This initiative reflects our collective commitment to equitable growth and inclusive prosperity. I extend my sincere gratitude to the experts, community partners, and stakeholders whose dedication and collaboration have brought this vision to fruition, strengthening DeKalb County’s ongoing pledge to equity, sustainability, and opportunity for all.” — DeKalb County Takes a Major Step Towards Affordable Housing with New Community Land Trust Feasibility Study

The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is proud to recognize the following for September Spotlight of the Month: Assistant Chief J. Casey, Major D. Royal, Lieutenant C. Young, Lieutenant A. Hilliard, Lieutenant J. Smith, Sergeant A. Baker, Corporal S. Santa Maria, Deputy Sheriff Master G. Coward, Deputy Sheriff Senior R. Fluker, Deputy Sheriff Senior K. Carroll, Deputy Sheriff Master A. Booker, Deputy Sheriff Master R. Lewin-Bye, Deputy Sheriff Master K. Little, Deputy Sheriff Master K. Fieldgrove, Deputy Sheriff Master G. Fields, and Deputy Sheriff Master L. Harri. On July 2, 2025, an individual at GJAC suffered cardiac arrest. GCSO Court deputies promptly alerted 911, initiated CPR, and deployed an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). When Fire and Emergency Services arrived, they continued life-saving efforts. As a result, the individual regained a pulse and was subsequently transferred to Northside Gwinnett for advanced cardiac care. GCSO Court deputies were honored by county leaders and Gwinnett Fire and Emergency Services for their life-saving response during the medical emergency. This incident is a testament to the commitment and professionalism of our staff and all Gwinnett first responders. We extend our gratitude to Gwinnett Fire Chief Fred Cephas and Northside Hospital’s Chief Operating Officer in Duluth, and Vice President of Physicians Services Jay Dennard for highlighting the commendable service of GCSO and for supporting our shared mission of public service. — Celebrating Gwinnett County’s Heroes: Honoring Life-Saving Actions of Our Dedicated First Responders
