Georgia House of Representatives District 31 Representative Tommy Benton introduced a bill Monday to the Georgia Legislature that could abolish the Jackson County Town of Pendergrass. If approved, House Bill 222 would repeal an act creating a charter for the Town of Pendergrass, which was originally approved Dec. 30, 1890. Section five of the bill states "all legal rights, privileges, and assets of the City of Pendergrass and all records of such assets shall pass to Jackson County." Assets that would transfer to Jackson County include all real property assets, all tangible and intangible personal property assets, all accounts receivable and all digital and electronic paper and records of the town.
