Commission approves City of Cherryville annexation of Fairview Cemetery property
Summary
The commission approved a spot annexation request from the City of Cherryville covering Fairview Cemetery property (estimated 25–40 acres) so the city can provide services and emergency response access.
Montgomery County commissioners approved a City of Cherryville request to annex land that includes Fairview Cemetery.
A Michael representing Cherryville said the property has been city-owned and the annexation would regularize jurisdictional boundaries so the city can provide services and respond to emergencies there. He estimated the cemetery property totals between 25 and 40 acres, including roads.
The commission voted to approve the annexation resolution and commissioners asked that staff ensure taxing and boundary details were handled in accordance with county records. The city representative noted the city had completed internal steps and only required county approval to finalize the spot annexation.
Commissioners and the city noted future beautification and maintenance steps for the cemetery; staff said they would record the annexation paperwork and notify affected taxing entities if required.
