Though there are two voting precincts in Mechanicsville, most of our neighbors live in precinct 04V and typically vote at Dunbar Neighborhood Center at 477 Windsor Street W. Due to COVID-19, that polling center was combined with the center at Paul L. Dunbar Elementary School next door at 500 Whitehall Terrace SW.

Please note that for the November 3 General Election, the 04V polling place will be changing again back to Dunbar Neighborhood Center.

Please reach out to communications@mechanicsvilleatl.org if you have any questions about this.

Just a reminder that the Mechanicsville Civic Association will be meeting on Monday, October 5 at 6:30pm. The meeting is normally held at Dunbar Recreation Center, Room 207, but will be held virtually due to COVID-19. You can find more information about the meeting here and below:

Early last month, the Urban Land Institution Center for Leadership’s mTAP participants delivered a presentation to the Mechanicsville community that included their findings and ideas about how the community could move forward in addressing some of our neighborhood’s challenges. Thank you so much to the presentation team for their hard work on this! It goes a long way to validating our organizing work and makes our advocacy stronger and more compelling as we work to build a better future for the Mechanicsville community.

You can find the slides from that presentation here:
mTAP 2020 – Atlantas Next Unicorn – Integrating Mechanicsville_compressed

Presentation synopsis:

ATLANTA’S NEXT UNICORN NEIGHBORHOOD: Integration of Mechanicsville

Mechanicsville sits in the shadow of downtown Atlanta. This neighborhood is in the NPU-V, one of the oldest neighborhoods within Atlanta and the mTAP team was requested to identify methods for revitalization. With a large study area for the scope and maneuvering the constraints of virtual interaction, the group targeted easily accessible community feedback to gauge prospects for Mechanicsville’s future. Expanding on the 2016 LCI Study and 2004 Mechanicsville Community Development Plan, the recommendations largely focused on enhancing leadership (Community Quarterbacks!), developing public-private partnerships, strategizing placemaking of streets ad edges, focusing on community wellness and strengthening the Cradle to College Education Pipeline.

Client: Senya Zaitsev, Sunny ETC; Tommy Cooper; and Jason Dozier

Hello neighbors!

The Murphy Crossing site is the former location of the old State Farmer’s Market, at 1000 Murphy Ave SW. Atlanta BeltLine Inc. has acquired this property and plans to redevelop it. A coalition of neighbors representing neighborhood associations and NPUs has organized themselves as the Murphy Crossing Coalition and has developed a survey to help ensure that the redevelopment of Muphy Crossing is beneficial to current and future area residents. Please take this survey as soon as possible and share with neighbors!

This survey is for individuals, not households! If there are multiple people living in your household, we encourage everyone who’s interested to fill out a survey.

For more information, you can contact us at MurphyMasterplan@gmail.com

Greetings,

I thought this information might be helpful to the residents in your planning unit. Last week, Mayor Bottoms announced a new grant program to support Atlanta’s small businesses impacted by COVID-19.

The Resurgence Grant Fund, made possible by a $22 million allocation of federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), offers up to $40,000 to help cover pandemic-related costs, such as complying with requirements necessary for businesses to operate safely, plus a credit of up to $10,000 of no-cost technical assistance services.

In addition to the Resurgence Grant Fund, we are planning to reopen the Strength in Beauty Fund, which provides grants of up to $1,000 to cosmetology professionals like hairstylists and nail technicians.

Applications for the Resurgence Grant Fund and Strength in Beauty Fund both open Monday, August 10 and close Monday, August 31. We hope you will help us spread the word and have provided a flyer for sharing below.

It is important that businesses are not only aware of this opportunity but also understand key dates and how to apply. To help with outreach, we are hosting a webinar on Tuesday, August 4 and Wednesday, August 12 at 6:00 p.m., which is open to all businesses interested in the program.

As always, please continue to follow Invest Atlanta on social media and check www.InvestAtlanta.com for program updates.Thank you for your partnership in making our economy stronger for the benefit of all Atlantans. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Sincerely,
Michele Lewis
