Recipients are given a letter detailing the benefits of locating inside Norcross city limits and the forms necessary to seek annexation.

Developer's plans for Sturbridge Square Apts. in Peachtree Corners voted down.
Planning authorities this week voted against swapping multi-family housing for retail development in Peachtree Corners.
