Good morning, Decatur.

On April 17, hundreds of families lined up at the dReam Center Church on Shepherd Drive to receive free Easter meal kits including one ham and two side dishes—volunteers worked until 10 a.m. or until supplies ran out, spending $50,000 to help those facing food insecurity.

Toco Classic Barbers opened its downtown Decatur shop in December 2024 at 235 Ponce de Leon Place, Suite H.

Owner Alex Mastov from New York offers classic haircuts and beard trims in a nostalgic setting and welcomes walk-in customers seven days a week (the business also runs a second location at Toco Hills).

DeKalb School Board will meet Monday, April 21, to consider a final $141.6 million contract with The Gilbane Building Company for the new Sequoyah Middle and High School, funded by ESPLOST VI and earlier approvals.

The board will also review a $4.7 million design services amendment and several other contract renewals and new agreements for school construction, maintenance, and nutrition services—actions that set the stage for future district operations.

Today, the City of Decatur held a groundbreaking for the first phase of its plan to fully renovate Decatur Square — the project will update the town center in stages.
