How it works

Your voice, on the record, before the vote.

Before Atlanta decides on rezonings, variances, liquor licenses, and big developments in our area, it has to hear from NPU‑I first.

  1. Neighbors speak

    You raise questions directly to developers, city departments, and elected officials at our monthly meeting.

  2. NPU‑I votes

    Members vote to support, oppose, or defer each application. One vote per household, counted on the record.

  3. City Hall listens

    Our recommendation goes to the zoning boards, City Council, and the Mayor's office before they act.

Membership

No sign-up. No dues. Just show up.

If you're 18 or older and live in NPU‑I, or own a business or property here, you're already a member.

Attend any two meetings in a twelve-month stretch and you can vote on everything, from zoning recommendations to electing officers. Sign in each time so your attendance counts.
