Bethlehem jumps into annexation race

With the City of Winder beginning an aggressive campaign to annex property near Highway 316, Town of Bethlehem officials want to play a role in determining which commercial areas go into which municipality.
“I don’t think we are out of the race yet,” Bethlehem Mayor Sandy McNab said during Monday’s council meeting. “I want to hire someone to help us with annexation. I want to do what we can to convince people on our side of (Hwy.) 316 that it will benefit the town and them to be with us in the long run.”
