At a time when the city of Atlanta is facing a massive budget deficit and unincorporated South Fulton facing a possible deficit of it own in 2009. Cliftondale and Sandtown communities are at odds on the boundary of their respective overlay districts. Fulton County approached each community after a developer showed interest in an area that sits in both overlays. Neither group could agree who has control the disputed area just south and west of Camp Creek Parkway.
Why is there such a dispute from two groups that have worked together in the past? If you read the March meeting minutes from Cliftondale (www.cliftondale.org) you'll see there is fear of annexation of Westlake High School because it sits in the disputed area.
With Atlanta facing budget cuts of 25% and up to possibly 40% in all non public safety departments Sandtown couldn't possibly want to be annexed into Atlanta now, would it?
