FLOWERY BRANCH – The Flowery Branch City Council focuses much of its time and energy on carefully controlling the city’s rapid growth, but Thursday evening it heard from Flowery Branch Police Chief David Spillers about another kind of growth spurt affecting the south Hall County municipality: crime.
No place in Hall County is growing faster than Flowery Branch. “Thirty-one percent of all the houses built in the entire county last year were built within Flowery Branch,” City Manager Bill Andrew told council members. “We’re obviously a much smaller land mass than thirty-one percent.”
But keeping up with that strong rate of growth, possibly even surpassing it according to Spillers, is crime.
