In a special called meeting immediately following Monday’s work session the Hall County Commission officially lodged a protest over the City of Buford’s upcoming consideration of an annexation request for 34.59-acres along McEver Road

The Flowery Branch City Council held a public hearing Thursday evening for a rezoning request that could bring 184 single family homes and 140 townhomes to 118-acres along Mulberry Street.

Unanimous approval was given Tuesday evening by the Gainesville City Council to a rezoning request that will bring twenty new residential housing units to a 1.56-acre vacant lot near downtown Gainesville.

Despite a recommendation for approval Monday evening from the Hall County Planning Commission, not all members of the commission are sure a rezoning application for a self-storage warehouse complex is the best use for 5.56-acres along Spout Springs Road.

The Hall County Commission gave unanimous approval Thursday evening to a resolution amending the county’s sewer and sewage disposal rate schedule.

On Thursday evening the Hall County Commission will consider a resolution to increase sewer rates for both its commercial and residential users.

"Crossing a bridge when you come to it" might not only be prudent life-advice, it will soon be something more easily accomplished at one thorny location in Gainesville.

First reading approval was given by the Flowery Branch City Council Thursday evening to a rezoning application that will bring 65 new townhomes and 26,400-square feet of commercial space to an 11.34-acre site at the southwest corner of McEver Road and Gainesville Street.

The Gainesville City Council Tuesday evening approved the purchase of 21.24-acres of wooded property along Queen City Parkway and to the east of Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport.

The Hall County Planning Commission appeared to have finally put into words the terminology that will govern a new zoning classification, but after a lengthy discussion it decided to wait until next month to vote on the matter.
