Flowery Branch City Council gave its blessing Thursday night to the Lanier Islands Parkway Community Improvement District, a self-taxing district that would run along a western portion of Ga. 347 in South Hall County. Mack Burgess, the district’s director, said the Buford City Commission is now set to vote Monday on the CID. Buford’s OK would clear the way for the organization to move forward with creating a board and setting a tax rate for the district. The district, which spans from the Lake Lanier Islands resort to just east of Hog Mountain Road, received the Hall County Board of Commissioners’ approval in April.
