Toccoa welcomes Stone Mountain delegation

Toccoa Downtown Development Authority (DDA) members and City Commissioners welcomed a delegation from the City of Stone Mountain on Friday, May 1.

Community Planning and Downtown Development Director Connie Tabor gave a presentation to visitors, consisting of Stone Mountain city council members, Mayor, DDA board members, and Main Street Director, regarding the canopy removal along Doyle Street and the award-winning street re-opening project.

After the presentation, the group ate lunch at the Cornerstone Restaurant and toured the Toccoa Main Street District.

"While it’s always nice to share Toccoa’s success stories, it’s especially exciting to give advice and inspiration to communities who are looking to travel the same road as Toccoa as a Main Street City," said Tabor.

"The delegation is concerned about wooden canopies constructed a while back in the City of Stone Mountain, and they learned a lot by seeing what Toccoa has been able to accomplish."
