Gwinnett County is now taking steps to block its newest city from holding its first-ever election this year.
Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson learned the county has joined a lawsuit against the City of Mulberry.
Mulberry supporters say Peachtree Corners has been a model for them on how to create a city. Gwinnett County says the city that voters approved has some major problems out of the gate.
The county argues “The City of Mulberry should not be allowed to come into being,” according to the lawsuit.
Another legal challenge has Mulberry’s future once again in question.
“We’re asking them to set aside that vote and to stop the transition,” Hughes said.
A Gwinnett County spokesperson couldn’t comment on pending litigation. The lawsuit argues all of Mulberry needs to be struck down by a judge, not just some aspects, so voters are not left with a bait and switch.
