Senate study to look at splitting Fulton County

The Senate voted 48-1 today in favor of establishing a study committee to look at the pros and cons of splitting Fulton County in two.

State Sen. Sam Zamarripa (D-Atlanta) has proposed creating two consolidated governments, called Milton and Atlanta counties. Cities from Palmetto to Atlanta to Mountain Park would all be swept into one of the two governments.

The new Milton County would begin at the northern boundary of Atlanta.

The new Atlanta County would take in everything from Atlanta to Fulton’s southern border. The idea already has gained some support in the Republican-controlled Legislature.
