COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — Most of the newly annexed Columbus residents will likely be placed in Ward 2.

Today, councilmen agreed with a consultant’s suggestion to put 1,300 people in that ward. However, all wards would see an increase under the proposal.

Most of the annexed area is in east Columbus.

The biggest change discussed would put some Columbus Southside residents into Wards 1 and 4. They are currently in Ward 2.

A consultant could have a tentative plan for the council to review in about a month.
