CITY R ECO G NIZ ES ‘S O L A R I ZE DUNWO O DY DAY ’ Jan. 31, 2018 will be known as “Solarize Dunwoody Day” in the city following a proclamation by the Dunwoody mayor and City Council to recognize the Solarize Dunwoody Coalition for its effort in raising awareness of solar energy. The proclamation was announced at the council’s Jan. 8 meeting. Jan. 31 is also the last day for Dunwoody residents to sign up in the Solarize Dunwoody program where people can sign up for a free solar evaluation from Solarize Dunwoody’s chosen installer, Hannah Solar. The date does not end the program, however, as people who have signed up at www. solarizedunwoody.com will have two more months to decide if solar is right for them and enter into a contract. “I hope we’ll see a surge of sign-ups on or before Solarize Dunwoody Day and then think we’ll see even more people actually go solar,” said Tina Wilkinson, a leader of Solarize Dunwoody. The Solarize Dunwoody program began Sept. 1. The more people who sign contracts to install solar power at their homes or businesses, the cheaper the price for all involved in the program. To date, 20 homes in the city have committed to the program.
AJ C NEW SR O O M M O V ING T O AT L A NTA , S O UR C ES S AY The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s newsroom is likely moving from Dunwoody to WSB-TV’s headquarters in Atlanta’s Ansley Park sometime this year as a partly combined operation, according to sources with knowledge of the plan. The newsroom is part of the AJC’s operation at 223 Perimeter Center Parkway, which is part of a 42-acre site planned for the High Street mixed-use redevelopment and in the bidding for Amazon’s second headquarters. It is unclear whether the newsroom move is part of either redevelopment plan. Other AJC operations may remain on the Dunwoody site, sources said. The AJC’s parent company, Cox Enterprises, and GID, the Boston-based developer behind High Street, did not respond to comment requests. The city of Dunwoody has not received any filing or applications for that site from the AJC, GID or Amazon, according to spokesperson Bob Mullen. Cox said last year that the lease on the AJC building was set to expire in 2018, but was extended through 2021.
