STORY 1: Townhomes and Single-Family Homes Proposed For SW Cherokee
A public hearing is scheduled for December 17 regarding Lynwood Development LLC's proposal to rezone 14.34 acres in southwest Cherokee County for a mix of townhomes and single-family homes. Initially, the plan was for 95 townhomes, but after the Cherokee County Planning Commission recommended denial, the developer revised the plan to include both townhomes and single-family homes. This change aims to address residents' concerns, with townhomes near commercial areas and single-family homes around existing residences. The hearing will be held at the Cherokee County Conference Center in Canton.
STORY 2: Goshen's Family Resource Center Supports Canton Families
Six months after opening, the Goshen Valley Foundation's Family Resource Center in Canton is actively supporting the community with counseling, family support, crisis assistance, and mental health services. Located at 230 Marietta Highway, the 6,500-square-foot facility offers various therapies, a food pantry, and a playground. The center served about 340 people in 2023, collaborating with nonprofits, schools, and churches. With a staff of 20 and additional contractors, it addresses issues like mental health, domestic violence, and housing. Supported by a Georgia Department of Human Services grant, the center also provides bilingual services and operates Monday to Friday.
STORY 3: Cherokee County Firefighters Earn Promotions
Thirteen members of Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services were promoted during a ceremony on November 7 at the Canton Theatre. The event celebrated their dedication to community safety, with family, friends, and colleagues in attendance. Promotions included Bonn Ellerbee, Matthew Perry, Evan Groet, and Austin Wyatt to sergeant; Ethan Garner and Brady Reed to lieutenant; James Lussier, Nathanial Croft, Jon Villalobos, and Phillip Shrout to captain; and Alexander Adams, Jason Williams, and Nathan Baum to battalion chief. Fire Chief Eddie Robinson praised their commitment and leadership, emphasizing their role in mentoring future firefighters.

STORY 4: Woodstock Senior Center Honors Military Veterans
The William G. Long Senior Center in Woodstock hosted its first Veterans Appreciation Social Event on November 8 to honor Veterans Day. The event featured a photo shoot for attending veterans, with their photos and service information displayed for peers. Attendees also watched appreciation videos for each military branch while enjoying food, drinks, and raffle prizes. The center plans to make this social event an annual tradition to continue honoring veterans in the community.
STORY 5: Bohannon Out as KSU Football Coach, Disputes AD's Statement
Brian Bohannon is no longer the head football coach at Kennesaw State, with conflicting reports about whether he resigned or was fired. Athletic Director Milton Overton stated Bohannon resigned, but Bohannon and his sons disputed this, claiming he was informed of a leadership change. Bohannon, who led the program since its inception, leaves with a 72-38 record and multiple championships. The team struggled in its transition to the FBS, currently holding a 1-8 record. Chandler Burks will serve as interim head coach for the final games, with a national search for a new coach underway.
