State Rep. Scott Holcomb, D-Atlanta, has done everyone in DeKalb County a favor by pushing out the above new map negotiated between supporters of the proposed cities of Lakeside and Tucker. Click on the image to enlarge.

The cityhood bills have been stopped, given that the above chartage was a surprise to lawmakers on Wednesday. But dead legislation has a history of Lazarus-like revivals – so pay attention.

Some constituents have asked whether Livsey Elementary is in the proposed city of Lakeside or Tucker.  Based on our reading of the map, the school would be in the proposed city of Tucker, across Livsey Road from the Livsey precinct.  Those who live in that precinct would be in the city of Lakeside, however.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
