From issues of growth, revenue and matters of historic preservation, Demorest officials heard from right around a dozen residents on plans for the future of the city at a town hall Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Those who wish to provide input to city officials can also fill out a survey here.
Much of the feedback gathered from constituents will serve as a foundation for the future long-term strategic plan for the city and address questions of growth as well as zoning, which has gone unaddressed for the last 15 years.
City officials heard plenty of praise – as well as earnest suggestions – throughout the meeting at Demorest City Hall Tuesday.
“After 10 years in Demorest, I’m clearly aware of how amazing of a community we have,” Bobbe Seibert told council members. “Perhaps, my most major concern is that we lose that by overbuilding. We’re already in a crazy traffic situation with (Highway) 441. I would hate to see what Demorest is best at – which is community – become Gainesville. We don’t want that – anything but that.”
Now Habersham will have the full story tomorrow – Wednesday, Feb. 12.
