from Commissioners Gannon an Rader
Clifton Corridor institutions, led by Emory University have
petitioned to annex their isolated property into Atlanta across a
65-foot-wide “land bridge” that Emory purchased last year. They urge
stakeholders to look at the Big Picture when judging their unilateral
action and ask Atlanta to reflexively approve their incorporation into
the city.
The Atlanta City Council and Atlanta voters should
carefully assess the implications and mitigate impacts before they grant
the request. DeKalb has petitioned the state to arbitrate these issues. Read the rest @ AJC.
