The Georgia House of Representatives passed a measure Wednesday that would allow residents to vote on creating the city of LaVista Hills, according to the AJC. The House also passed a bill to create the city of Tucker. Both cityhood bills will go to the Senate for further consideration. If approved, voters would decide on whether to incorporate during a November election.
State Rep. Pat Gardner, D-Atlanta, has filed two annexation bills for the city of Atlanta, including a bill that would call for a referendum on annexing the Druid Hills community. According to Decaturish, Gardner filed the bills on March 10, but the boundaries might need a little tweaking. While the original annexation proposal put together by Together in Atlanta included Briar Vista and Fernbank Elementary, as well as Druid Hills High School, House Bill 586 appears to also include McLendon and Medlock Elementary Schools.
