Commercial: CU of GA STORY 1: Cherokee County Buys Land for Phase 2 of Technology Ridge Parkway Cherokee County recently acquired 35.23 acres for the second phase of Technology Ridge Parkway for $700,000. This phase will connect with the already opened section from Bluffs Parkway to Fate Conn Road and Heard Road. The newly acquired land will be divided by the parkway's construction. Funding for the purchase comes from the 2024 Special Purpose Local Options Sales Tax allocated for the Parkway. The project aims to eventually link Canton's Bluffs area with the Cherokee County Regional Airport. Phases two through five are currently in the design and right-of-way acquisition stages. STORY 2: Canton Hears from Residents on Property Tax Rate Canton is considering keeping its property tax millage rate unchanged at 5.4 mills for the next year, but this could be perceived as a tax increase due to rising property values. The city expects a revenue increase of 5.82% if it maintains the current rate, totaling $639,467. The rollback rate would be 5.27 mills. This rate includes fire services, with uncertainty about potential increases in the county's fire tax. Residents expressed concerns during a public hearing about the implications of maintaining the current rate. The city council will hold two more public hearings before voting on the millage rate in July. The proposed rate is separate from those of the Cherokee County government and school district. STORY 3: Two Cherokee County Students Earn Community Scholarships Two Cherokee County School District 2024 graduates, Ixchel Avila from Etowah High School and Hannah Pankow from Woodstock High School, received the Towne Lake Academy Scholarship for future teachers. Avila, who will study early childhood education at Brigham Young University, was inspired by her involvement in tutoring and mentoring programs. Pankow, who will pursue elementary education at Kennesaw State University, gained experience through her school's Early Childhood Education program and volunteering. The scholarship, now in its second year, awards $2,500 each to graduates planning to become educators, based on applications, essays, and references.

Expect traffic delays in the area, particularly during weekday deliveries from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The trucks will enter Woodstock via Interstate 575, traveling through Towne Lake Parkway. Woodstock Police will manage traffic, and flagmen will assist along the route.
