Kelly Jordan is co-founder, along with Becky Kelley, of the Alliance back in 1998. He was the volunteer head for many years of the successful effort to assemble the expansive greenspace connections of the Heritage Area, and he lead the multi-year planning process that led to designation as a National Heritage Area. After building up a paid staff, with renovated headquarters on the historic Vaughters’ Farm, he remains the Board Vice Chair of the Alliance, still assisting the staff with multiple projects.

Deborah was a leader in efforts to expand the PATH trail within Lithonia city limits and to list the City on the National Register of Historic Places.
