From Atlanta INtown – The City of Briarcliff Initiative has posted the results of an independent cityhood feasibility study to its website briarcliffga.org. The study was conducted by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia.

According to the study documents, Dunwoody and Smryna were used as comparison governments to determine the likely operational expenses associated with providing parks, police, public works, planning and zoning, basic administrative costs, as well as capital costs associated with those services and administration. The conclusion was that  a city comprised of the Briarcliff study area is feasible.
