Berlin resident Patrick Bates looks at a map of the community with a local man during a community meeting to discuss incorporation. 

Those interested in wanting to learn more about an effort to incorporate the Berlin community can turn out Tuesday evening more an informational meeting.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Berlin Community Center on U.S. 278. Patrick Bates is leading the effort to become a municipality, arguing Berlin is among the oldest, most densely populated communities in Cullman County that remains unincorporated.

Resident must collect the required number of signatures of residents for a petition to hold an election. Those signatures are only good 18 months.
