Annexation into Locust Grove objection raised in Henry County

Henry County officials are not in agreement with a proposed annexation into Locust Grove. The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Sept. 20 regular meeting to make a formal objection to the request regarding a piece of property at the northeast corner of the intersection of Singley Road and South Ola Road. According to county staff, the site is designated on the county’s future land use map for rural residential development which is no more than one dwelling unit per acre, while the development now being proposed for the property is nearly twice that.

The board agreed to take no action regarding an annexation notice from McDonough for property at 343 Turner Church Road. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
