Legislators are pointing to a controversial proposal to build nearly 700 apartments next to Seckinger High School as an example of zoning matters that have sparked them to propose the creation of a new city that, if approved by voters, would be immediately become one of the largest in Gwinnett County.
Georgia House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, R-Dacula, announced plans to file a bill to create the City of Mill Creek in northeast Gwinnett. If the General Assembly approves the bill, a referendum would be put on ballots to let voters have the final say on whether the city should be created. Itβs not clear when the referendum would happen.
