Who is Develop Cashiers Responsibly (DCR) ?
We are a group of full time and part time Cashiers residents that organically came together in 2020 in response to an overly dense development proposed on 50 acres at the Cashiers Crossroads that was not in character with the town of Cashiers. DCR has remained very active monitoring ongoing development trends in the Cashiers area to help ensure a broad community voice is heard and that the recommendations of the Urban Land Institute and Small Area Plan are implemented.
DCR By the numbers:
DCR has 2,000+ followers on our internet and social media platforms
