| HISTORY OF SEMMES INCORPORATION EFFORTS | Through the years the
residents of the Semmes Community have contemplated forming their own
city mainly due to the threat of annexation by the City of Mobile.
Most recently (Oct/2008), the City of Mobile once again tried to annex a
portion of our community. The annexation was defeated as the
citizens voiced their opinions with their vote.
The citizens of Semmes have reached a point where we no longer have the option of just "staying like we are". We must make a decision on our future. The Community of Semmes has grown considerably over the last decade. In this growth, we now have a very rich commercial area that is appealing to other local cities for the potential of sales tax revenue. Either we can give it away to someone else OR we can keep our tax dollars in Semmes where we will benefit from it. |
