How industrial warehouse proposal, rejected in Hall, is faring in Buford Nearly 400,000 square feet of distribution facility space is being proposed on some 34 acres off McEver Road in South Hall. Developers aim to have the property annexed into the city of Buford, and Hall County objects to the proposal.
A proposed warehouse off McEver Road has run into a buzzsaw of opposition from area residents and Hall County government.
“Having a facility like this that operates 24/7 with 73 trucks … is going to be a huge detriment,” said Farley Barge, co-founder of an addiction recovery center for women near the site, to the Buford Planning Commission on Tuesday, March 9.

FLOWERY BRANCH – First reading approval was given by the Flowery Branch City Council Thursday evening to a rezoning application that will bring 65 new townhomes and 26,400-square feet of commercial space to an 11.34-acre site at the southwest corner of McEver Road and Gainesville Street.
Rezoning requests, annexation applications, zoning variances and special use permits are standard fare at almost every Flowery Branch City Council meeting. Quite simply, the city is experiencing a building boom, and at most meetings land-use applications dominate the city council agenda.
“Thirty-one percent of all the houses built in the entire county last year were built within Flowery Branch,” City Manager Bill Andrew told city council members two weeks ago. “We’re obviously a much smaller land mass than thirty-one percent.”
