City of East Point Looks To Rebrand And Redevelop

East Point is located less than 10 miles from downtown Atlanta, and the city’s Mayor Deana Holiday Ingraham says they’re on a mission to attract development and residents.

It’s a little less than 10 miles south of downtown Atlanta, and only five miles from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. It has a population of just over 35,000.

This is the city of East Point and, according to Mayor Deana Holiday Ingraham, there’s room for more — more residents, more commercial development and more of a presence in Fulton County.
