John Park, Mayor Elect, City of Brookhaven

The City of Brookhaven, the acclaimed metro Atlanta community with small town charm and big city access, has experienced quite a decade. 11 years ago, it officially transitioned into city hood. And since then it’s achieved notable growth by investing in its police force, improving infrastructure, promoting its cultural diversity, and much more. In January, Brookhaven begins a landmark chapter in its leadership as John Park takes office as mayor. Park won the run-off election for mayor of Brookhaven on December 5. Mayor Elect Park has a longtime record as a member of the Brookhaven City Council. And he’s making history as the first Asian-American Pacific Islander elected as a mayor in Georgia. His goals as mayor include expanding greenspace and improving infrastructure. He’ll also be leading efforts on Brookhaven’s City Centre project, which broke ground in October. He talks about all of this and a whole lot more on this week’s show.
