Gov. Nathan Deal explained Tuesday why he signed legislation that would form the new city of Eagle’s Landing.

Eagle’s Landing would take land from the existing city of Stockbridge, which is a first in Georgia. Land would also come from unincorporated Henry County.

Deal said he reviewed information from people on both sides of the issue and stood by his decision.
