FOCUS: Peachtree Corners’ bridge: From city-lite to big government

By Ali Stinson | It was barely four years ago when Mike Mason was the president of the United Peachtree Corners Civic Association on the campaign trail to sell us all on a new concept in local government that he branded “city-lite.”

As the story went, this was a brand new form of government: a city chartered for only three services – trash collection, code enforcement, and planning and zoning. He touted a financial study that said the whole thing could be run for $750,000. It was all very simple. He promised local control of whether and where apartments would be built and cheaper trash collection.
