Cornelia and Demorest City Councils Set to Meet Tuesday

Residents in Cornelia and Demorest will have two opportunities to engage with their local governments tomorrow as both cities hold their regular monthly council meetings on Tuesday, December 2.

City of Cornelia

The Cornelia City Council will meet Tuesday evening at 6pm for a full agenda that includes one of the most closely watched issues in the community: an upcoming annexation vote. The proposal has drawn strong opinions from residents—especially those concerned about growth, density, and preserving Habersham County’s small-town character.

In addition to the annexation discussion, the council is expected to review routine business items, hear departmental updates, and address ongoing city projects. With social media conversation heating up in recent days, Tuesday’s meeting is expected to draw significant community interest.

Residents are encouraged to attend so they can hear details firsthand and better understand the decisions shaping Cornelia’s future.

City of Demorest

The City of Demorest will hold both a work session at 6:00 p.m. and its regular council meeting at 7:00 p.m. at the Demorest Municipal Conference Center. The agenda includes several discussion and action items related to water rates, charter amendments, a zoning request, and the city’s emergency operations plan.

Both meetings are open to the public and offer residents a chance to hear updates directly from city leaders, ask questions, and participate in the decision-making process.
