Gainesville City Council is expected to consider changing its code and readvertising its plan to annex 115 “island properties” in Hall County at its meeting next week. The reason, said Rusty Ligon, Gainesville Community Development director, is that Hall County threatened to file an injunction if the city continued with the current island annexation request. Council members are scheduled to review the proposed ordinance change as part of its work session agenda today.
