# Canton GA City Council October 15 2026

At its October 15, 2026 meeting, the Canton City Council approved an annexation and related rezoning, master-plan, and conditional-use requests for approximately 62.17 acres within a roughly 68.5-acre mixed-use development proposal. Approval included staff conditions and an added requirement for staff design review of buildings. The council also clarified that the previously approved River Pod J plan allows one car dealership, while retaining the pod’s other permitted uses. Residents raised concerns about development density, traffic, and property taxes; no dollar value for the development was stated.

On procurement and finance, the council approved MSI as the city’s broker for employee health and benefits plan consulting under RFP 66114-27-RFQ-0629. It also approved a master lease agreement allowing the city to participate in the Georgia Municipal Association equipment-financing program; this authorization did not itself commit the city to financing. Separately, the council approved a supplemental GMA lease to finance a hydrovac truck, an item included in the FY2027 budget, for a five-year term at a stated 4.37% rate; staff said the city could repay it early without penalty and that GMA’s proposal compared favorably with alternatives. No purchase or contract amount was provided. Staff also reported progress on the fire department building and South Canton Park, without seeking procurement action on those updates.
