I’d like to take this opportunity to say, Welcome!
Whether you are a newcomer to our community or you’ve lived in Flemington for many years, I’m sure you agree that it’s a great place to call home. We have only to look around to appreciate the uniqueness of our surroundings.
In recent years, it has been a challenge to balance Flemington’s character and small town charm against its inevitable growth. Consequently, and in order to be fair to everyone, the members of the City Council and I have made extensive efforts to ensure that relevant ordinances are not only in place but that they are also enforced in a fair and impartial manner.
Flemington is an ever changing community. The Council and I have an unwavering commitment to help guide the future of our city in a positive direction which will serve the best interest of all citizens of our community.
We are proud that our small City has been able to furnish the state-mandated services necessary to retain its charter without the imposition of fees or City property taxes on its citizens. Of course, significant growth may someday impact our ability to continue operating in this manner but it is our intent to impose fees and or taxes only after careful consideration of all other options.
Although you are always welcome, many of you do not have the opportunity to attend our monthly Council meetings held the second Tuesday of each month. It is my hope that with the creation of this website it will provide you the opportunity to stay more informed on the happenings in Flemington.
Finally, in closing, I want to ask for your support promoting Flemington as an independent and vital community. Too often Flemington is confused with our good neighbor Fleming to the east, or assumed to be an extension of Hinesville to the west. Our mail may say we live in Hinesville but I hope the next time you’re asked, you’ll take pride in saying, “I live in Flemington, Georgia!
