The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners narrowed a list of potential sites across the county for a new animal shelter and settled on just three Tuesday.
Some good news for the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area: They're all nearby.
The board chose a site near DeKalb Peachtree Airport and Chamblee Dunwoody Road, another at an abandoned car dealership off Lawrenceville Highway and a third at John's Homestead Park (a site that rankled some residents), according to wsbtv.com.
