Hampton City Council OK’s agreement with EMC

The Hampton City Council voted unanimously at its Dec. 7 regular meeting to adopt a resolution approving an agreement between the city and Central Georgia EMC.

The agreement involves a swap of service territory for North Hampton Crossing subdivision and is contingent upon a third-party agreement being provided to the council. According to a city staff report, the new arrangement would allow Central Georgia EMC to service the development in its entirety and prevent duplication of service.
