Buford City Schools could be operating a school inside of Hall County in the future. At a meeting earlier this month, the Buford Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize the city manager and city attorney to negotiate and purchase 16.43 acres located at 995 Gainesville Highway. City Manager Bryan Kerlin confirmed in an email to The Times that the property is within the city limits of Buford, but also in Hall County. The purchase has not yet been finalized, Kerlin said.
