Voters Reject Forming New City
in Southern Fulton County
Posted September 24, 2007
From a story published last week in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Fulton County voters overwhelmingly rejected the proposed city of South
Fulton on Tuesday, preventing the county from becoming the first in Georgia
with every property inside a city.
The decision means Fulton County commissioners will continue to decide
local issues such as planning, parks, public works and public safety for
an island of unincorporated land that sprawls over 62,000 acres and sweeps
in about 45,000 people south of Atlanta all the way to Palmetto.
The vote also means that, for the time being, Fulton County will also
provide - or at least continue planning to provide - library service for
the citizens of the unincorporated area at the south end of the county.
