As quoted from Commission Chairman Phillip Beard at last night's hearing, "[Buford] is not a small town anymore, and it takes a lot to operate our schools and keep the quality that we have," "To do that we have to continue to grow."

The annexation is a sham. How will Buford provide services in Hall County? This is a joke.

Enough is enough! This is our community that is being ruined by people who don't reside here. We show up in masses at meetings and hearings but are never heard or represented enough.

This type of growth isn't wanted, nor is it warranted. The excuse this growth will provide more jobs is a bunch of bull. If every unemployed person in veorgia got a job, there would still be thousands of job openings.

Warehouses have already ruined the community. The roads are worse. The traffic is worse. Being ran off the road by trucks is an everyday occurrence. Not to mention how the "wonderful" amazon warehouses brought an invasive spider to the area that is taking over to the point you can't go outside. Thanks, warehouses.

One of the biggest issues though, is how there are NUMEROUS empty warehouses for sale in Gwinnett and Hall county. Use those. They already exist. Or better yet, stay in Gwinnett County where those residents can pay for the unwanted infrastructure.
