After a sold-out debut in May, “Dunwoody 101: All Aboard” is rolling back into town on Tuesday, Sept. 30, according to city officials
Open to Dunwoody residents 18 years and older, the immersive, one-day program takes residents on a guided, behind-the-scenes journey through Dunwoody’s city government, complete with a trolley ride to see projects in action.
“We heard great feedback when we debuted the program in May, so we wanted to offer it again,” said Dunwoody City Manager Eric Linton in a release from the city. “We’ve developed a schedule that lets participants experience the energy of city hall while also getting out to tour exciting projects and initiatives.”
Residents who participated in the inaugural class of Dunwoody 101 said they left with a deeper understanding of – and confidence in – local government.
“I saw the city in a new light,” said Jeannie Posner. “I enjoyed seeing what the future goals are for Dunwoody – from parks to new commercial redevelopment to forward-thinking ways of keeping Dunwoody thriving in the future.”
Applications are open now through Friday, Sept. 5. Seats are limited to 25 participants due to trolley capacity. Residents who were on the waiting list for the first class will be given priority.
If applications exceed available spots, participants will be chosen at random and notified by Monday, Sept. 8, the release said.
The schedule for the day will include:
9:00 a.m. – Budgeting & Governance
10:00 a.m. – Trolley ride to Two Bridges Park
10:30 a.m. – Site visits to Campus 244 & High Street
12:00 p.m. – Lunch

2:00 p.m. – Real-Time Crime Center & CSI
3:00 p.m. – Code Enforcement & Communications

Graduates will be recognized during the Dunwoody City Council meeting on Oct. 27.
