Greg Ramsey, the director of Village Habitat Design, says there’s only about 5 to 10% of land in DeKalb County that is undeveloped.

He says growth must continue, so there’s a need for preservation and protecting the land.

“What’s also critical is our communities and getting people reconnected to nature and to where their food comes from,” Ramsey said on Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
