The controversial annexation and rezoning requests of a large portion of land in South Hall County has been approved by the Flowery Branch City Council. Around 70 concerned residents showed up to the Thursday council meeting, many using the public comment portion to encourage council members to vote against the rezoning of around 180 acres of land from either residential or agricultural to light industrial. In the end, both the rezoning and the annexation of around 141 of those acres were approved, with the council voting unanimously for the annexation requests.
