The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its June 16 regular meeting to approve a resolution voicing opposition to a proposed annexation of county property into the city of Lovejoy.
Such a move would be the first by Lovejoy, which is in Clayton County, to involve Henry County land. The site in question includes nearly 302 acres north of Hwy. 81 between Lovejoy Road and North Steele Drive.
The proposed development for the site, consists of more than 1,100 units in a mix of single-family homes and townhomes. The land currently is zoned for residential as well as industrial use.
