South Fulton incorporation meeting Tuesday

As AJC reporter Ty Tagami reported yesterday, many DeKalb residents are eager to carve the county up into more cities. They're not alone. Some south Fulton County residents also are pushing to form a new city.

South Fulton Now, a coalition of community groups and elected officials, is sponsoring a public information meeting on incorporation at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the World Changers Church International fellowship hall, 2500 Burdett Road, College Park.

Voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to form a city in south Fulton in 2007. But the effort gained new momentum last winter when state Rep. Roger Bruce, D-Atlanta, introduced a bill to allow another vote on the issue. The bill passed the House but died in the Senate without a vote.
