Palmetto is looking to expand its city limits further into Coweta County. If approved next month by the city council, a Nov. 15 recommendation by the city Planning and Zoning Board would add 274.71 acres and extend the city limits to I-85.

The proposed annexations, consisting of four contiguous tracts in all, are situated on the city’s south side. Two of the properties sit on the west side of Collinsworth Road and include a 96.33-acre tract owned by the Robert W. Steed Estate and an adjacent 73.38-acre tract owned by Coweta-Fayette EMC.

The EMC property extends to Weldon Road, linking to the two remaining tracts. Those properties include a 30-acre tract bordering Weldon Road and I-85 and a 55-acre tract situated immediately to the south and west. Both tracts are owned by Howard Guthrie.

The tracts adjacent to I-85 are proposed for commercial and industrial development.
