Lynn has led Dunwoody over the past four years as the city raised police salaries by nearly 40 percent, increased green space and parks, fixed intersections, improved pedestrian safety, and supported local non-profits as they dealt with the impacts of the pandemic, allowing them to feed, house, and offer mental health services to those in need. Many new businesses chose Dunwoody as their home. Lynn is known for constantly meeting with citizens and small businesses to hear about their needs and wants.
