Madison County, boundary lines and corporate limits of the City of New Hope further provided for
Summary

SB338 reduces the City of New Hope’s boundaries by removing a defined area along a mountain roadbed and Oak Grove Roadbed from its corporate limits, effective October 1, 2025.

What This Bill Does

The bill alters the boundary lines to remove a specified parcel from the City of New Hope. It defines the area with detailed boundary descriptions and curves along the roadbeds. A map showing the removed territory is on file in the Madison County Probate Office for public inspection. The act becomes effective on October 1, 2025.

Who It Affects

Key Provisions
  • Alter and rearrange the boundary lines and corporate limits of the City of New Hope to remove the described territory, defined by the centerline of an existing mountain roadbed and related descriptions.
  • A map showing the proposed removed territory is on file and open to public inspection in the Madison County Office of the Judge of Probate.
