Englewood, Chatham, Auburn Gresham

Englewood Connect will be built in three phases, the first including a restoration of the firehouse and construction of the “Living Room,” a year-round gathering space for neighbors.

The mural aims to capture the essence of Auburn Gresham, and neighbors can pitch in to help on a July 23 community day.

There will be live music, free food, swag bags and games for the entire family at the event.

Neighbors can visit the Englewood Village Market starting Saturday through Oct. 29 for food and plants, chef demos and family-fun activities.
