DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - DeKalb County residents did not hold back in a public session on Tuesday about whether to allow more parts of the county to be annexed into the city of Brookhaven.

The neighborhoods, which would join the city, sit between North Druid Hills, Briarcliff, and Lavista roads.

This was the first of two meetings to answer questions community members may have about the annexation.

DeKalb County commissioners and the CEO Michael L. Thurmond were there at the Central DeKalb Senior Center to hear those citizen concerns.

There will be another public hearing on the potential annexation Wednesday at Brookhaven City Hall starting at 7 p.m.

A final vote is expected July 25.
