The City received an annexation petition for one parcel with an aggregate of 20.0 acres located on the Southwest Bypass (Veterans Parkway) near Old Burkhalter Road. The land under petition is contiguous to existing City territory, and therefore can be annexed by ordinance adopted by City Council. As required by State law, the County has been informed of receipt of this petition.

This parcel is contiguous to 1,036 acres previously annexed into the City of Savannah. The parcel, along with the land previously annexed, is being developed as industrial warehousing. The developer previously signed a payment in lieu of taxes agreement with the City of Savannah for the project that will cover the debt service on bonds issued by the City to construct a roadway interchange and other public improvements at the site. 

To speak on this item during the Live City Council Meeting, please follow the instructions included in the "Notes to Audience" section of this agenda.
