UPDATE: Click here to view the City Manager’s annexation Powerpoint presentation from last night.  Total and student populations by area are included, along with next steps including the questions…

OK, I must admit that we’re playing a bit of catch up with this chapter in the ongoing annexation story and this post will probably be updated at least once today.

Last night the Decatur City Commission held its open work session regarding the potential annexation of areas in the map above.  Patch is reporting some of the highlighted facts from the meeting including that a full-fledged annexation of all these areas would increase the residential population to 2,028, with 230 students at the start and nearly double that 8-10 years from now.

Added revenue would be $1 million to the city and $1.7 million to the school system.  However, the one “yet to be determined” piece is the cost to the city and school system.

I’m guessing most folks will need to see that last piece before they make a final determination.

The powerpoint from last night’s meeting should be posted on the city’s website some time today. More when we have it.
