The AJC’s April Hunt reports that Decatur and Avondale’s effort to annex the retail strip along beautiful E. College Ave will go before the county delegation tomorrow.

According to Hunt, Avondale has failed twice in the past to get the necessary 10 signatures, due in large part to opposition by property owners in the area.

Avondale wants to annex 22 parcels, while Decatur wants 10.  Neither small land grab will do much to help contribute to city coffers, but it is certainly in both cities’ interest to clean up this strip.
