A coalition of citizens, elected leaders and community groups host a community meeting 7 p.m. Tuesday at World Changers International church, 3500 Burdett Road, College Park to discuss cityhood for unincorporated South Fulton County.

Proponents tout a local focus with direct representation, fiscal feasibility, local control over tax dollars and a new city with the same school district and public services as ways to make the proposal work.
