The Little Sober Bar, a mobile non-alcoholic bar based in Woodstock, is opening a permanent location in canton at 160 Lee Street this September. The new retail space will offer a range of non-alcoholic beverages, including alcohol free spirits, wines, beers and mixers in addition to the brick and mortar store. The bar will continue its mobile pop up statewide. Founder Brittany Hyde expressed excitement about expanding the inventory and engaging more with the community through this new location. For updates, follow the little Sober bar on social media. The city of Woodstock is proposing a new maintenance and operation millage rate of 5.223 mills, which would increase property taxes by 2.855%. This rate is 0.145 mills, higher than the rollback rate of 5.08 mills needed to maintain the same revenue as last year. If approved, a home valued at $475,000 would see a tax increase of about $27, while a non-homestead property value at $350,000 would face an increase of about $20. The city's budget for fiscal year 2025 is $80.6 million, a 10% decrease from the previous year. Public hearings on the proposed rate will be held on August 12th, 19th and 26th, with a final vote scheduled for August 26th. All meetings will be at the Chamber of City Center, 8534 Main Street. For more details, visit Woodstock, GA. Gov. A 27 year old man, Levi Benjamin Wilson from Woodstock, has died after a tree fell on his car during the storms in southeast Cherokee County.

The Dean Rusk Middle School Chorus, directed by Joseph Salter, has been chosen to perform at the Georgia Acda Fall Conference in October at Kennesaw State University. Selected as one of only four middle schools for this event, the chorus also received a unique grant to commission and premiere a new piece of music. Sony Electric Membership Corporation is expanding its solar energy portfolio by participating in five new utility scale solar projects, totaling 447MW. Sawnee EMC will secure 60MW from these projects, which are developed by Green Power EMC and will be operated by Silicon Ranch. The project scheduled to begin construction in 2025 and start coming online in late 2026 to late 2027, will be purchased at a fixed price for 25 years. This initiative aligns with Sony Emc's commitment to a diversified, environmentally responsible energy portfolio. With this addition, Sony's EMC renewable assets will reach approximately 184MW.

As the school year began on August 1st, the Cherokee County School District urged drivers to be cautious and follow road rules around the schools and buses. Key reminders include slowing down for school buses with yellow flashing lights, stopping for red flashing lights and waiting until they stop flashing before resuming driving, never passing a stop school bus stopping whether behind or on the opposite side unless it was a divided highway, slowing down near bus stops and school zones and being vigilant for children crossing the street, expecting heavy traffic around schools as parents dropped off students before using CCSD buses, local law enforcement increased their presence to ensure safety. For more information, the district directed people to visit Cherokee K-12 net schools. As of August 1st, 2024, Cherokee County has transitioned to a. Gov domain for its official website and email addresses. The new website is Cherokee County, GA. Gov and County emails now use at Cherokee County, ga.gov. This change, aimed at harnessing cybersecurity and ensuring authenticity, follows over a year of efforts by the county's IT department to secure the domain and migrate content. While most county websites have switched to gov, some, like Cherokee Recreation and Parks will remain on.org and.com domains. For comprehensive information, visit the updated county site. We'll have closing comments after this.
