I'm surprised Grovetown hasn't tried to pursue annexation of the gateway area near I-20.

Quote:
local small town may get bigger if one state lawmaker has his way. The city of Harlem could expand, but some of the people who live there don't want any part of it.

This annexation would nearly double the city's size, which means land that is currently part of Columbia County would belong to the city.

At Columbia County's Commission meeting, commissioners made it known that they oppose extending Harlem's city limits.

Columbia County Commissioner, Dewey Galeas, says, "Columbia County Opposes House Bill 598 as written."

It was a unanimous vote against the city limits extension.

"The Columbia County Board of Commissioners respectfully request House Bill 598 be vetoe'd by the Governor of the State of Georgia," says Galeas.

The bill was written by State Representative, Barry Fleming.

some of the people that are opposing it just really made me laugh for the reasons they gave because it's so much nonsense.
For example take the one person that was complaining that it would add too much traffic to the area which made no sense at all. Why? Because annexing anything towards the base would not create more traffic it's simply not going to happen unless that area develops and any traffic out there from such a development will be out there it won't be inside town.
