The Douglasville City Council cleared the way for a company believed to be associated with movie producer and actor Tyler Perry to reconfigure property lines affecting 364 acres of undeveloped land.
The property is next to more than 800 acres the company, ETPC Company LLC, acquired earlier this year in southeastern Douglas County, about eight miles southwest of Six Flags Over Georgia.
It could not be immediately determined whether ETPC has finalized a deal to acquire the 364 acres, which is adjacent to the larger acreage but is part of the Tributary at New Manchester community, east of Mount Vernon Road and just south of Sweetwater Creek State Park. A purchase did not immediately turn up Tuesday in a search of Douglas County property records.
Efforts were being made to reach ETPC and Tyler Perry for comment. ETPC shares the same principal office address and suite number of Tyler Perry Studios LLC and Tyler Perry Studios Casting on 10th Street in west Midtown, according to documents on the Secretary of State.
The City Council voted unanimously Monday evening to approve the request involving the 364 acres.
Atlanta attorney Larry M. Dingle, who represented ETPC in the plat request, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week that there are no plans to develop the acreage mentioned in the request. He would not comment further about the other property.
Jeff Noles of the Douglasville Development Authority also told the AJC he has heard of no plans to develop the Douglas County property.
Earlier this year ETPC paid $5.4 million for 856 acres just south of Sweetwater Creek State Park and I-20.
