The Local Agenda: Council to vote on Ahaluna development tonight
Placeholder Image
Gainesville City Council will meet tonight to vote on an annexation and rezoning request that, if approved, will allow for the development of a 219-lot upscale subdivision off Dawsonville Highway in Gainesville, near the shores of Lake Lanier. West Ahaluna LLC, a local developer with ties to America’s Home Place, is asking Gainesville to annex about 70 acres and rezone another 32 acres in order to proceed with building the subdivision. The city’s planning and appeals board has given its approval to the controversial development, which residents in the Ahaluna Drive area, as well as Hall County officials, vehemently oppose.
