City Of Stockbridge And Lender File Lawsuit To Stop Vote On Eagle’s Landing

A lawsuit in federal court Monday filed by the city of Stockbridge to stop a referendum says de-annexing parts of Stockbridge to establish Eagle’s Landing violates the Voting Rights Act. A second one filed by Capitol One Public Funding argues Eagle’s Landing would be skipping out on financial responsibility for bonds issued to the entire area of Stockbridge.

The city of Stockbridge filed a lawsuit last month in its latest effort to keep the city together.

Some residents who live in a portion of the city called Eagle’s Landing want to break off and create their own city.

A federal district court judge will hear arguments Monday afternoon from the city of Stockbridge and the lending group Capitol One Public Funding to stop a vote that could create a new city of Eagle’s Landing.
