Council approves 180-day pause on arbitration for Everhour Greentop annexation dispute
Summary
Newnan council unanimously approved a 180-day pause in arbitration over NCTI LLC's Everhour annexation on Greentop Road to allow time for a development-of-regional-impact study and negotiation with Coweta County; the matter had previously gone to arbitration in 2023 with conditions.
Newnan — The Newnan City Council unanimously voted May 13 to impose a 180-day pause on arbitration related to NCTI LLC's annexation request for Greentop Road, part of the Everhour housing development.
Council materials note that NCTI LLC previously sought annexation in 2022 for Everhour Phase 1 (about 300 single-family detached homes); Coweta County objected and the city's earlier arbitration in 2023 resulted in arbitration findings with conditions. On March 11, 2025, NCTI LLC returned seeking annexation of another portion of Greentop Road for approximately 235 additional units. Coweta County again objected.
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs set an arbitration panel on May 7, 2025, and staff told council the combined project size exceeding 400 housing units triggers a development-of-regional-impact (DRI) study. Council said it preferred to negotiate rather than proceed immediately to arbitration and voted unanimously to pause arbitration for 180 days; the pause will also be presented to the Coweta County Board of Commissioners.
Council did not adopt any land-use approvals at the May 13 meeting; the pause is intended to allow time for the DRI study and potential negotiations without active arbitration. Further steps, including the DRI process and any additional hearings, will follow state and local requirements.
