Do You Have Annexation Questions?
Decatur Metro | August 30, 2012Deanne wrote in with some questions she had about the annexation discussion currently going on inside the walls of city hall and I wondered whether this might be a good opportunity to open up the floor to other outstanding questions you have about the city commission’s current push to evaluate whether Decatur should annex anymore property along its borders.
For now, here are Deanne’s questions…
1) Will the folks in the residential corridors next to the commercial properties have a vote? And do they only have to “win” 1 route to Suburban Plaza to take it?2) What are City’s reasons for considering [annexing] UMCH [United Methodist Children's Home]?
I know that two Decatur residents are currently doing a detailed analysis of the financial implications of the different parcels under consideration for annexation, so we’ll soon have that piece. But for now, what else would you like clarified and/or detailed?
If the city commissioners or staff can’t answer your questions here, I’ll compile them and send them along in an email.
