Hall and its cities must agree on how to deliver services or lose out on state money
Lula has threatened lawsuit over sewer service
Hall County Government Center
Officials at the Hall County Government Center say they are confident they will reach an agreement with cities in the county on how to deliver services efficiently.
Hall County government officials say they are confident they will get a Service Delivery Strategy agreement done with the municipalities before a June 30 deadline set by the state. Failure to reach an agreement — established by state law almost 20 years ago to “minimize inefficiencies resulting from duplication of services and competition between local governments” — could result in the county and cities losing out on state grants, loans or becoming ineligible for permits. The parties are looking to amend an agreement that’s been in the books since 2004.
