Lakeside City Alliance Raises $2K at Oak Grove Event

Thirty-five people attended the Monday night fundraiser at Napoleon's restaurant.

The Lakeside City Alliance added about $2,000 to its coffers at a Monday night fundraiser in Oak Grove, the alliance's chairman said Tuesday.

Thirty-five people attended the event at Napoleon's restaurant, said Mary Kay Woodworth, alliance chairman, in an email to Patch. The alliance is studying the creation of a new municipality in north DeKalb County that would stretch from North Druid Hills to parts of north Tucker.

Money from the fundraiser will go toward a state-mandated study by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia that will investigate the feasibility of the alliance's proposed city. That study can cost as much as $30,000.
