On February 16, 2016 the Westview Community Organization and the Westview Commercial District Association, in collaboration with the City of Atlanta’s Office of Planning, hosted the third public input meeting to rezone the Westview Village to the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) classification. Based on the feedback provided by neighbors the Office of Planning is working on drafting legislation for the NC district. The legislation will be presented at an upcoming Westview Community Organization and Neighborhood Planning Unit T (NPU-T) before being voted on by City Council.

The “First Saturday Mimosas & Brunch” event at D Cafe combines two great things – food with neighbors and giving for a good cause. Brunchers had the choice of a hearty mixed breakfast platter or regular menu items while socializing with fellow neighbors. In the meantime the “keep the change” jar allowed patrons to leave their change to go towards purchasing the Westview Community Garden.
Westview can continue to be proud to have an institution like KIPP STRIVE Academy in the neighborhood. After being recognized as a “National Blue Ribbon School” in 2015 the charter school is back in the news for winning the “Georgia Charter School of the Year Award.” As part of the achievement KIPP STRIVE Academy received a $50,000.00 check, sponsored by the Coca-Cola Foundation.
