Pine Mountain residents fight plans for children's community

PINE MOUNTAIN - Residents of Pine Mountain in west Georgia are trying to derail plans for a community that would house abused, neglected and orphaned children from around the world. <br> <br> Some say the proposed 910-acre World Children&#39;s Center would disrupt the quiet town in Harris County. The center is projected to cost $250 million. <br> <br> Opponents also question businessman Donald Whitney&#39;s motives. <br> <br> They plan to fight the plan Tuesday night during a meeting by the Harris County Commission on whether to rezone 541 acres from agricultural to Planned Commercial Development. <br> <br> The county&#39;s planning commmission already has denied Whitney&#39;s zoning request, but the county commission is not bound by that decision.
