Free Smart Thermostats Giveaway on Feb. 2 at Metropolitan Library

Fulton County and Southface will be hosting another free smart thermostats giveaway event on Feb. 2 from 4pm-6pm at Metropolitan Library - 1332 Metropolitan Pkwy SW, Atlanta, GA 30310. Please see flyer attached for more details and to share with community members. This event is part of ongoing initiatives related to the Metropolitan Library Resilience Hub.
 
Thermostats are being prioritized for community members residing in one of the following Neighborhood Planning Units (NPU's) experiencing high energy burdens (more than 6% of income spent on energy bills): NPU-X, S, Z, Y, V, T, L, H, and R. 

Smart thermostats are an effective measure to improve home efficiency and reduce energy burden. If a household previously received a thermostat from our event on Nov. 17, then they won't be eligible to receive another. In order for the thermostats to work to their full potential, households will need to have WiFi and a common (blue) wire.

2022 Community Impact Grants!

Every year, the City of Atlanta partners with its Neighborhood Planning Units to send out Community Impact Grants (CIGs). These small-dollar grants fund programs to improve the community in four areas:

  • Neighborhood Enhancement projects to enhance the appearance, safety, and livability of the neighborhood’s public spaces - streetscapes, gateways, neighborhood business areas, activation of unused public spaces and so forth.
  • Leadership and Capacity Building projects to improve the organizational capacity of local organizations that serve the public in addressing issues, improving conditions, and enhancing the quality of life within the neighborhood.
  • Community Engagement and Awareness projects to promote a sense of community, raise awareness of the NPU System, increase participation in the civic process, and so forth.
  • Development Assistance projects to encourage productive communication among residents, developers, and other stakeholders during the development review process, including financial assistance for impact studies and third-party consultants

This year NPU-S is working to get the maximum $6,500 in CIG monies to distribute to organizations in the NPU.  If your neighborhood organization or civic group has a project that could use a little seed money, why not put in an application? We strive to make it as easy as possible.  

Restrictions and Deadlines

NPU-S must have its grant applications approved by vote and submitted to the City by March 4. Since the last NPU meeting before March 4 is our February 17 meeting, grant applications must be submitted by February 13 for review by the Executive Committee.

This City will not award grants to or for the following:

  • Individuals
  • Capital campaigns
  • Endowment funds for for-profit entities
  • Fundraising events
  • Government agencies or departments
  • Lobbying efforts
  • Political contributions
  • Religious organizations for religious purposes
  • Single business donation(s)
  • Food (can be incorporated at an approved event)

From MARTA: 


Upcoming Major MARTA Service Impacts:
Next month, MARTA will continue its Track Replacement Phase IV (TR-IV) program with a major project that will temporarily suspend Red Line rail service south of Dunwoody station. Work will begin Friday, Feb. 18, at 9 p.m. and conclude at the end of service Wednesday, Feb. 23. there will be additional delays for at least two days afterward.

Continuous bus shuttles will serve customers between Dunwoody, Medical Center, Buckhead, and Lenox stations. This could mean delays of at least 30 minutes per trip for some customers. Customers will also have the option of MARTAConnect, which provides discounts for Uber and Lyft rides.



Two virtual public meetings on Jan. 27 and 29 will allow customers an opportunity to learn more about the TR-IV program, its customer service impacts, and have questions answered by MARTA officials.

Helicopter lift notification - Jan 29, 8am-noon

Just FYI - 

A helicopter will be used to install a rooftop air conditioning unit at 1150 White Street on January 29, from 8am to approximately noon. So if you see or hear a large helicopter that morning, that's what's going on.
