About this Event

South Metro Development Outlook (SMDO) is the brainchild of Michael Hightower, Managing Partner of The Collaborative Firm, LLC, a planning, program management and development company. Hightower, a long-time proponent of smart growth in the Southern Crescent, established SMDO for the purpose of convening individuals with a common interest in examining and discussing relevant growth-related issues in South Fulton County. Today, SMDO highlights economic development, planning, infrastructure, transportation and related issues facing Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton and Henry Counties, as well as the City of Atlanta.
