Meet the Developers and the Neighbors at Dunwoody Homeowners Association this Sunday

Last month, the DHA heard from Crown Developers, who had the Goldkist property (on I-285, just south of Best Buy and Rooms to Go on Hammond) zoned for office towers prior to Dunwoody's incorporation.

Their plan for that new development is in place and they intend to go forward with what they have already obtained by right from DeKalb county.

Now that the economy is back they wish to add two residential towers to the development (visualize The Manhattan in Perimeter Place).  This will require a zoning variance and they will go through that process just like anyone else.  Crown came to the DHA first to show the community what they intend.

This Sunday, they're back to review their presentation and answer questions from the community.

This is your chance to be part of the conversation and make your voice heard before the official rezoning and development request goes through its government process.

Come out on Sunday, March 6 at 7:30 pm to meet Charlie Brown and Doug Dillard in person, hear their proposals and tell them what you think.  Everyone is welcome to visit and participate in the public portion of the Board Meeting.

In addition, the DHA will hear requests from Kingsley ES, the Dunwoody Preservation Trust, and the Dunwoody Nature Center for funding.

See you there!

Watch out, Thumbtack! LinkedIn is about to debut Profinder

About a year ago, TV commercials for a contractor-finding service entitled Thumbtack started popping up in our sitcoms.  Thumbtack was innovative (as compared to Yelp, Angie's List, or Kudzu) because it was more than just a directory with feedback from customers.  Thumbtack also offered an interactive marketplace where customers could be matched with willing contractors based on the type of work needed, location, and price range.

This week I was in a phone conference with some developers from LinkedIn who are rolling out their own service, Profinder.

Profinder works on a similar principle.  It is easier to use than the other directories because Profinder draws on your currently-available LinkedIn profile information.    Customers can submit their job information, price, etc, and professionals in that field can bid on their work.  Or, a customer can visit a LinkedIn member's Profinder page and request a bid for free.

Here's my Profinder page:  https://www.linkedin.com/pro/sdocpublishing

Profinder is currently live in San Francisco and New York.  SDOC was asked to test-drive the new service in Atlanta and chat with the developers as they fine-tune the user interface and features.  In my phone conference, the folks in charge say they will be expanding Profinder to the Atlanta area in about a month-ish.

If you're on LinkedIn, keep your eyes open for this new way for your enterprise to connect with customers.
