Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 308
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) of Norcross is dedicated to keeping our downtown vibrant and thriving. The DDA works on projects that enhance and promote the downtown area, ensuring it remains a great place to live, work, and visit. They help plan for the future, support local businesses, and oversee improvements that benefit everyone in the community.
If you're interested in what's happening downtown or have questions, you can attend the DDA meetings, which are held on the second Thursday of each month at 6p in City Hall. I also recently added a monthly overview and highlights from these meetings on youngnorcross.com (located on the right-hand navigation bar).

Submit yourself / your family to be featured! Email a brief introduction and photo of you / your family to youngnorcross@gmail.com. Then show your “Meet Your Neighbor” feature to the team at Social Fox Brewing for a free round (this is the only feature that earns a free round)!
