The city of Pine Mountain has been asked to annex 191.2 acres off Georgia Highway 354 and to rezone it for an upper-end subdivision. West Georgia Land Group LLC of Tyrone is expected to close on purchase of the property from Granger Investment Co. of Pine Mountain at the end of June. Granger is headed by G. Harold “Hal” Northrop, who retired as president of Callaway Gardens.

The project is to be discussed by the Pine Mountain City Council June 12, but no action is expected. The annexation/rezoning is to come before the Harris County Planning Commissionat 7 p.m. June 21, said Becky Gray, county zoning technician. The commission would make a recommendation to the city council. The council is then expected to decide first on the annexation July 10, and if that is approved, to vote on rezoning the land from agricultural to single-family residential. The county planning panel also provides services to Pine Mountain.
