STORY 1: Canton Approves Expansion of Historic District

The Canton City Council approved the expansion of the city's Historic District with a 5-1 vote on November 21, with Bryan Roach opposing. Mayor Bill Grant emphasized the expansion aligns with the city's goals of enhancing neighborhoods and preserving historic downtown Canton. The expansion, supported by the historical society, extends mainly east along East Main Street and north along Brown Street. Properties added through this expansion will require review by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) for any future exterior work. Councilmember Shawn Tolan highlighted the necessity of expansion to maintain the district's character against inappropriate development. The HPC had previously recommended the expansion and new design guidelines. While the council did not vote on design guidelines, these will be set by the HPC. The updated Historic District map and guidelines will be available on the city's website under the Community Development section.

STORY 2: CCFES Collecting Toys for Annual Toy Drive

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services is hosting its annual Toy Drive, collecting new, unwrapped toys to support local organizations like Toys for Tots and MUST Ministries. Donations can be made at any Cherokee County fire station until December 15, with clearly marked collection boxes available. However, boxes may be temporarily unavailable if crews are out on emergency calls. Fire Chief Eddie Robinson expressed gratitude for the community's generosity, highlighting the Toy Drive as a chance to support children and families in need during the holiday season. For more information or to locate the nearest fire station, residents can visit www.CherokeeCountyFire.com or contact CCFES headquarters at 678-493-4000.

STORY 3:Etowah Senior Named Keep Cherokee Beautiful's Volunteer of the Year



Etowah High School senior Hayden Raffield received the Volunteer of the Year Award from Keep Cherokee Beautiful on November 19, recognized for his environmental dedication. Raffield's volunteer work expanded this year as he successfully advocated for the creation of a Keep Cherokee Beautiful Student Council. This council aims to engage high school students in environmental preservation and community projects, such as Adopt-a-Mile and educational workshops, while fostering leadership skills and civic responsibility. Applications for the council are open until December 20. Additionally, Raffield co-founded the Eagle’s Service Connection club at his school, where he serves as president. In its first year, the club's members completed 700 hours of community service, and membership has grown to over 160 members this school year.

Commercial: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) 

STORY 1:   Cherokee County a Step Closer to Renovating Former Arts Center

Renovations on the former Cherokee Arts Center building in Canton are set to begin in early 2025, following the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners' approval of a $472,524.80 agreement with Hogan Construction Group. The project aims to support the Cherokee County Justice Center's needs, including indigent defense and accountability courts. Renovations will include new lighting, HVAC, and updated interiors, with the former sanctuary space used for meetings and court graduations. Funded by the American Rescue Plan Act and local sales tax, the project is estimated at $5.7 million, with completion expected by early 2026. 

STORY 2:  Raffensperger signs off on presidential election results

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified the presidential election results, confirming Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris in the state. This followed a hand count of over 700,000 ballots, which showed minor discrepancies but no changes to the outcome. Trump gained 11 votes, while Harris lost six compared to the machine count. Raffensperger declared it the most secure election in Georgia's history. With certification complete, Georgia's electors will meet on December 17 to finalize the results for Congress, where Trump secured 312 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed for the presidency. 

STORY 3:  Woodstock OKs Extension for New Restaurant Buildout

Woodstock City Council granted Connolly Realty LLC a 12-month extension to complete a new restaurant on Towne Lake Parkway, initially approved in June 2023. The restaurant will be part of the Town Lake Plaza shopping center, which includes tenants like The Blue Ghost Arcade and Gyro Aegean Grill. Adjacent to this site, Connolly Realty plans a shopping center with a grocery store and five commercial buildings. The extension allows the developer to submit a site plan in early 2025, with construction starting in summer or fall. Further extensions may be requested if substantial progress is made.

STORY 4:   Trump Expected to Tap Loeffler as Agriculture Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler from Georgia as the Secretary of Agriculture. Loeffler, appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Governor Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A wealthy businesswoman, Loeffler has been a strong Trump supporter, backing his 2020 election challenges. Despite her business background not being in agriculture, she grew up on a farm in Illinois. Her nomination requires Senate confirmation. Loeffler also co-chairs Trump's inauguration committee and founded Greater Georgia to support Republican candidates. 



STORY 5: Sequoyah Beats Woodward, Equals Furthest Postseason Run

The Sequoyah football team secured a spot in the Class AAAAA quarterfinals with a 35-20 victory over Woodward Academy, tying their single-season wins record and matching their deepest postseason runs from 2004 and 2018. Coach James Teter celebrated his 96th win, just one shy of the program's all-time record. Ean Marria scored three touchdowns, while Will Rajecki added two more with 195 rushing yards. Sequoyah's defense made crucial stops, including a key interception by Marria. The Chiefs will face Coffee next, aiming to make postseason history.

The extension allows the developer to submit a site plan in early 2025, with construction starting in summer or fall. Further extensions may be requested if substantial progress is made.

President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler from Georgia as the Secretary of Agriculture. Loeffler, appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Governor Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A wealthy businesswoman, Loeffler has been a strong Trump supporter, backing his 2020 election challenges. Despite her business background not being in agriculture, she grew up on a farm in Illinois. Her nomination requires Senate confirmation. Loeffler also co-chairs Trump's inauguration committee and founded Greater Georgia to support Republican candidates.

The Sequoyah football team secured a spot in the Class AAAAA quarterfinals with a 35-20 victory over Woodward Academy, tying their single-season wins record and matching their deepest postseason runs from 2004 and 2018. Coach James Teter celebrated his 96th win, just one shy of the program's all-time record. Ean Marria scored three touchdowns, while Will Rajecki added two more with 195 rushing yards. Sequoyah's defense made crucial stops, including a key interception by Marria. The Chiefs will face Coffee next, aiming to make postseason history.

STORY 1:Woman Found Guilty but Mentally Ill in Stabbing Death of Infant

A Cherokee County jury found Chloe Alexis Driver, 24, guilty but mentally ill of murdering her 13-month-old daughter in 2020. Driver was convicted of multiple charges, including malice murder and cruelty to children. Despite a defense plea of insanity, the jury held her criminally responsible. The crime occurred in Canton, where Driver, part of a nomadic group, stabbed her daughter and herself. The child died from her injuries despite rescue efforts. The trial featured 21 witnesses and 135 exhibits. Sentencing is set for December 12, with the Department of Corrections addressing Driver's mental health needs.

STORY 2: Shepherd Receives National Academies Award for Science Communication

 J. Marshall Shepherd, a distinguished professor at the University of Georgia, won the top prize in the National Academies' Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications. These awards honor those who effectively communicate scientific issues to the public. Shepherd, known for his work in weather and climate science, hosts "Weather Geeks" on The Weather Channel and contributes to Forbes. He emphasizes the importance of engaging with the public to combat misinformation. Shepherd's TEDx talks on climate change are widely viewed, and his recognition highlights the value of multidisciplinary communication in science.

STORY 3:Love Where You Live Initiative Raises Nearly $3K for Nonprofits

Cherokee County's "Love Where You Live" initiative launched its first Community Giveback, donating nearly $3,000 to combat food insecurity and support local seniors. The funds were split between Never Alone Community Food Pantry, which serves over 11,000 households, and Stand Up For Seniors, which provides financial and home repair assistance to seniors. The initiative raised funds through T-shirt sales, with plans to continue supporting local nonprofits. The program highlights community members and provides resources to local charities, with ongoing opportunities for involvement and fundraising.

Nine Cherokee County School District students were recognized for their exceptional technology skills in the Adobe Express Challenge, sponsored by the district's Technology and Information Services division.

The winners spanned grades 3-12, with first-place honors going to Parker Guyette (Grade 5), Kierstin Foster (Grade 8), and Ella Biesterveld (Grade 12).

STORY 5: Industrial Machinery Business Coming to SW Cherokee

 The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning request for DJD Southeast Real Estate Holdings to build a 35,000-square-foot industrial machinery sales building on Little Ridge Road. Despite concerns from residents about traffic and road suitability, the development was deemed a good fit. The project includes conditions like a $20,000 contribution for infrastructure improvements and specific landscaping and traffic management measures. Commissioner Corey Ragsdale noted the reduced truck traffic compared to previous proposals and emphasized working with engineers to ensure proper access to minimize neighborhood disruption.
