Membership

Get Involved

The neighbors who show up are the ones who decide. Here's how to become one of them.

Membership is automatic

If you're 18 or older and your home is in NPU‑I, you are already a member. The same goes for anyone who owns property or runs a business, church, school, or organization here. There are no dues and no application.

  1. Get on the mailing list

    Email sucoleman@atlantaga.gov and ask to be added to the NPU‑I list. You'll get the agenda and joining details before every meeting.

  2. Attend two meetings

    Come to any two general meetings within twelve months and sign in both times. From then on you're a voting member at every meeting you attend.

  3. Raise your hand

    Volunteer for a committee, bring a concern to new business, or just ask a question. Every recommendation NPU‑I makes started with a neighbor speaking up.

Where the work happens

Land use and zoning

Reviews rezonings, variances, and development proposals before they come to the full body for a vote. If you care about what gets built, this is your committee.

Public safety

Works with Atlanta Police's community liaisons and the fire department on patterns neighbors are seeing, from traffic to property crime.

Executive committee

The elected officers. Sets the agenda with our city planner and can act between meetings when city deadlines demand a quick response.

Your idea here

Committees form around what neighbors care about. Bring an issue to a general meeting and ask for hands.

Committee assignments and chairs change; confirm the current roster at any general meeting.

Talk to a person

No question is too small. If you're not sure whether something belongs at an NPU meeting, ask.
