Fulton County Commissioner Bill Edwards, who represents unincorporated south Fulton on the Board of Commissioners, is hosting a meeting on annexation and incorporation for residents in his district.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, 16 January 2014, at the South Fulton Service Center. The meeting starts at 6:30PM.
Edwards is holding the meeting in response to the bill by state Representative Roger Bruce (D - Atlanta) to create the city of South Fulton out of the remaining unincorporated area left in Georgia's largest county.
Six years ago, when south Fulton first debated becoming a city, Commissioner Edwards came out strongly against the movement; distributing a flyer to his constituents that said, "As your district commissioner, I have reviewed all of the facts and strongly believe that we should remain unincorporated at this time."
South Fulton voters sided with Edwards in 2007, rejecting the proposed city 85% to 15%.
