How does the CID get projects accomplished?

The CID uses various consultants and contractors to manage the projects it undertakes in the CID area. Where appropriate, the CID applies for grants and donations leveraging their own funds at approximately five or six to one, i.e. for every dollar the CID spends on projects, other organizations (such as DeKalb County, Georgia Department of Transportation, the Atlanta Regional Commission to name a few) contribute five or six dollars towards funding a Project.
