Mills Community To Vote On Foley Annexation

Residents of the Mills Community will vote on August 22 at New Fellowship Church to decide if they wish their community to become part of the City of Foley. The Alabama legislature approved a bill in May to allow residents to vote on annexation. The referendum will be at the New Fellowship Church at 17535 Little Rock Road. Mayor Ralph Hellmich said city officials and residents have been working on plans for annexation for more than a year. He added that approximately 170 people live in the area proposed for annexation in West Foley and north of Highway 98. The city is also working to create a park on a 4-acre site in the community, though this will not be affected by the referendum vote.
