Commissioners to hold first meeting in new building Nov. 10

CONYERS — The Rockdale County Board of Commissioners will hold its first meeting in a new county building Nov. 10, ending an era for the Assembly Hall meeting room, which has hosted county government proceedings for years. The Oct. 27 Board of Commissioners meeting was the final regular meeting held in the existing Assembly Hall space, with county officials preparing to transition to the new facility ahead of the board’s next scheduled meeting. County officials announced the move during the closing portion of the Oct. 27 meeting, explaining that the new meeting space will open in phases as additional improvements and technology are completed. While commissioners will begin using the building in November, officials said they will continue installing or adjusting some features into 2027. The transition will also require adjustments to the county’s meeting broadcast and livestreaming arrangements, including camera placement and other audiovisual equipment used to provide public access to board proceedings. The move represents a change for commissioners and residents who have attended meetings in the existing Assembly Hall over the years. Commissioner Doreen Williams reflected on the significance of leaving the longtime meeting space, recalling her early years on the board and the support of her

County aims to make community magazine self-sustaining

CONYERS — Rockdale County officials hope to make the county’s community magazine financially self-sustaining through advertising revenue after its inaugural issue fell short of covering production costs. The Rockdale County Board of Commissioners approved a $33,350 contract with Tredeau Design LLC during its Oct. 27 meeting to produce the Winter/Spring 2027 edition of the Rockdale County Community Magazine. During the discussion, Mike White, the county’s director of Public Relations and Marketing, acknowledged that advertising revenue from the first issue was not enough to offset its production expenses but said efforts are underway to attract additional advertisers and eventually eliminate the need for county funding. The first edition, published for Summer/Fall 2026, generated approximately $7,000 in advertising revenue, according to White. White said the publication is still in its early stages and that the county is working to establish a stronger advertising base. He reported that three additional advertisers had already been secured for the upcoming edition, with a goal of generating enough advertising revenue to cover production costs by the magazine’s third issue. The magazine, officially introduced at a Sept. 29 launch party at the county’s new Assembly Hall, highlights the people, places and stories of Rockdale County. It is

Youth Council calls for more rec space, jobs for teens

CONYERS — Local teenagers want more places to spend time with friends, greater access to jobs and internship, and more opportunities to have a say in decisions affecting their community, according to a survey conducted by the Conyers Youth Council. Youth Council Mayor Nathan Oliver and Mayor Pro Tem Charlotte Wright presented their findings to Mayor Connie Alsobrook and the Conyers City Council during its Oct. 21 meeting, highlighting concerns about limited recreational options, transportation barriers and the need for more youth involvement in city government. The student-led survey collected more than 275 responses from young people at local schools — including Rockdale County High School, Heritage High School, Salem High School and Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology. Oliver and Wright identified three major priorities from the responses: dedicated spaces for teenagers, employment and skill-building opportunities, and a greater voice in community decisions. The presentation prompted a discussion with Alsobrook and council members about which recreational facilities and businesses would appeal to teenagers and how the city could better meet their needs. Students said they want more spaces to socialize, explore creative interests, and participate in activities designed for their age group. They also expressed interest in more
