The Royston City Council on Sept. 9 approved an ordinance to annex 4.6 acres located at 285 Hartwell Highway into the city limits, setting an effective date of Oct. 1.
City Attorney Doug Ashworth read the second reading of the petitioned annexation, which Rocky Ridge Investment Group LLC filed with the city.
