DeKalb District 2 and 6 Commissioners to Host Meeting on Proposed Brookhaven Annexation

Meeting set for 6:30 p.m. June 27 at Central DeKalb Senior Center

 

DeKalb County District 2 and 6 commissioners invite the community to join them to discuss the proposed Brookhaven annexation.

Residents are urged attend a series of community meetings to discuss the proposed annexation of neighborhoods (refer to the map for specific neighborhoods) into the City of Brookhaven. The annexation petition, which has reportedly passed the 60 percent threshold required to proceed, was received by the county last week.

The proposed annexation, if approved, would be the largest in Georgia's history to be accomplished through the 60 percent method. The City of Brookhaven has previously annexed nearby Lavista Park in 2019.

“It is crucial that we carefully consider the impacts of the potential annexation on our community, our resources, and our ability to provide essential services,” said Commissioner Michelle Long Spears. “I encourage all residents to attend these meetings, ask questions, and make their voices heard.”

The community meetings will provide a crucial platform for residents to gain a deeper understanding of the annexation proposal, ask questions, and voice their concerns. The meetings will be held at the following times and locations:
