Whitfield and Murray County officials want to form a new regional joint development authority.

Murray County Sole Commissioner Greg Hogan passed a resolution calling for a JDA in his monthly meeting on Tuesday. And Whitfield County Board of Commissioners Chairman Mike Babb said that board will vote on a similar resolution when it meets on Monday.

Babb said, “It will have a seven-member board. Each county will appoint three members, and one will be jointly appointed.
