A RESOLUTION
Recognizing and commending the City of Chattahoochee Hills; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Chattahoochee Hills is a distinctive city located in the southwestern part of
Fulton County, Georgia, renowned for its picturesque countryside and sprawling farms,
offering residents and visitors a serene retreat from the urban bustle of nearby Atlanta; and
WHEREAS, during the 2006 Legislative Session, the Georgia General Assembly passed a
law allowing the Fulton County section of the area to incorporate as a city, thereby granting
local residents increased control over zoning and land use; and
WHEREAS, on June 19, 2007, the residents of the area overwhelmingly voted in favor of
incorporation by a margin of 83 percent to 17 percent, officially establishing the City of
Chattahoochee Hill Country within a 33,000-acre portion of Fulton County, with
incorporation taking effect on December 1, 2007; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chattahoochee Hills has since prioritized sustainable development,
focusing on preserving its natural landscapes while fostering economic opportunities and
modern infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the city is home to recreation areas such as the Chattahoochee Hills Eventing
Center and the Bear Creek Nature Center, which provide residents and visitors with
opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and other outdoor activities; and
WHEREAS, agritourism and sustainable agriculture play a key role in the city's economy,
strengthening local farms and fostering a deeper appreciation for environmentally conscious
food production; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chattahoochee Hills is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for
its residents through community-building efforts, economic development initiatives, and
support for local businesses; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable city be appropriately
honored during this special time.
