NEWS BRIEF: Andre Dickens will be the next mayor of Atlanta
Dickens to light the way in Atlanta
Andre Dickens, an unlikely contender in the race for Atlanta mayor, won the election in yesterday’s runoff against Felicia Moore. Dickens will inherit the stewardship of a city mired in rising crime, worsening availability and affordability of housing, and the possible secession of Buckhead. “We are facing some generational problems in our city,” Dickens said after his victory. “Atlanta is growing in population and in wealth. Businesses are flocking to the city; yet, we still have people living on our streets.” bisnow.com
