Why should you care about City Boundary Agreements?
Why should one care about City Boundary Agreements? I have spent the last three plus years following my husband around as he was Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission in Cherokee County Georgia until January 2007. I am so amazed at how much I learned about real estate. The scary part was how much I did not know!! It is amazing how much information one can gain at Zoning Meetings and Board of Commissioner meetings. Now, I am armed with information and more importantly where to go to do my research. I can now make these fantastic packages and link Clients to local sites which are filled with information. I have been very interested in City Boundary Agreements and how the City and County are really led by different groups, but under one County. In Cherokee County Georgia many of the Cities growth boundary agreements have expired and new agreements are under negotiation. The no-growth folks do not seem to understand that historically Cities will expand when given a chance. When the Cities expand many times they are pro-development and more interested in high density and commerciala re-zonings. You can almost see where the City and County lines begin and end. I challenge all of you to invest in understanding Boundary Agreements and to attend your local Planning and Zoning Meetings and Board Of Commissioner Meetings. In fact, visit your local water and sewer authority and that will really open your eyes....
