FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Fulton County is in the process of planning and preparing its 5-year Consolidated Planning Document to determine the needs of the community in developing viable urban communities.  The plan provides decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities principally for low and moderate- income persons.

The Consolidated Planning Process uses Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  The final Consolidated Plan document will describe the County’s plan to pursue the goals for all community planning and development programs serving Fulton County communities outside of the City of Atlanta, Roswell and Sandy Springs utilizing these federal grant dollars from HUD.

The Fulton County Workforce Preparation and Employment System – Workforce Investment Act Board (FCWPES-WIA) will meet Tuesday, July 29, 2014, beginning at 10:00 a.m.  The meeting will be held in Room 242 at the Adamsville Regional Health Center, 3700 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, SW, Atlanta, Georgia. 

The FCWPES-WIA Board oversees activities related to providing an environment that supports a skilled and trained workforce and to creating innovative programs that serve the changing needs of employers and the business community.

WIA helps Georgia move toward a comprehensive, customer-focused workforce investment system where Job Seeker and Employer customers alike can access a wide range of workforce-related tools and information needed to manage their work activities. Services are provided through a network of One-Stop Centers statewide.

ATLANTA (WXIA) – Fliers from a group claiming to be the Ku Klux Klan appeared over the weekend in Cabbagetown neighborhood.

The fliers, which feature the legend "Loyal White Knights Neighborhood Watch" and a graphic showing a hooded klansman pointing in an Uncle Sam-like pose with the caption "The KKK Wants You," were posted to walls and telephone poles in the Cabbagetown area.

The signs were ripped down shortly after they were posted.

The fliers were very similar to fliers distributed in several Alabama towns last month. Those handouts also included the "KKK Wants You" graphic. Both fliers included a web address and telephone number where interested parties would be able to find additional information.
