The December holidays are traditionally one of the deadliest times of the year on our nation’s highways, and impaired driving is a big part of the problem. To help make this year safer, Geerdes and Kim, LLC supports National Drunk and Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month, calling for stronger policies and programs to deter impaired driving, impaired motorcycle riding, and impaired walking. The campaign focuses on a communities approach. Every part of the community — businesses, citizen groups, health care providers, police agencies, schools, government, the military, etc. — has a role to play in the fight against impaired driving.
Geerdes and Kim, LLC is joining with groups in every state for National Lights On For Life Day on Friday, December 21, when motorists are asked to drive with their headlights on all day to remind people about the impaired driving problem and in remembrance of those killed by impaired drivers.
As part of the CARE Life Saver Weekend, December 21 - 23, police agencies across the nation will step up enforcement efforts against impaired drivers and motorcyclists, speeders, aggressive drivers, and others who make the roads especially dangerous at this time of year.
For more information about local 3D prevention events, call Katie Morales at 404-257-1777.

Construction is expected to begin in April on a $42 million mixed-use project in Brookhaven. Dan Woodley Communities Inc. plans to begin the third phase, called Brookhaven Village, of its $340 million development off Dresden Drive.

Brookhaven Village, on 5 acres, will have two townhouses, a single-family home and 49 condominiums, said Dan Woodley, principal. The project, at 1448 Dresden Drive, also calls for 40,000 square feet of retail space along the ground level of the condos and 22,000 square feet of office condo space, he said.

The townhouses will be priced in the mid-$700,000s and the condos will sell for between $240,000 and the $800,000s, Woodley said.

Phase 1 and 2 of the projects were Brookhaven Estates and Brookhaven Park, Woodley said.

The first condos should be available in first quarter 2007, he said.
