STORY 1: Holly Springs Approves 70 Homes on Arthur Drive

Holly Springs City Council approved a 70-home active adult community on Arthur Drive, despite local opposition. The development will convert 23.12 acres to a traditional neighborhood zone and will feature amenities like pickleball courts and a pool. Concerns from residents included the adequacy of the road entrance and potential traffic disruption. Some asked for reduced density and buffer zones, while others expressed worries about environmental impacts and construction access. The developer agreed to several concessions, including no access through Peardon Court and a 40-foot buffer around the property. The project is expected to generate significant traffic and will require additional county approvals.

STORY 2: Cherokee County to Have One Day of Sunday Early Voting

Cherokee County voters will have an additional early voting opportunity on Sunday, October 20, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Cherokee County Elections and Voter Registration Office. This extra day compensates for the missed voting day on October 14 due to the Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day holiday. Early voting will also be available from October 15-19 and October 21-26, with extended hours from October 28 to November 1. Multiple locations will be open for early voting, including libraries and recreation centers. The voter registration deadline is October 7. For more details, visit cherokeegavotes.com.

STORY 3: Canton Seeking Funding For Proposed Etowah River Bridge

Canton leaders are seeking funding for a $6.1 million River Mill Pedestrian Bridge project to connect The Mill on Etowah to the proposed River Mill Trail. The City Council is discussing a resolution to support a Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program Grant application, which offers up to $3 million in matching funds. The bridge will span approximately 180 feet with access ramps and include a put-in/take-out area for non-motorized boating. Construction is expected to begin in mid to late 2025. The Council is also considering a $178,150 contract for designing the River Mill Trail, which will integrate with the bridge. A vote on the grant resolution and design contract is set for September 12.

Cherokee County has launched the "Love Where You Live" initiative to celebrate local residents and their stories. Starting Sept. 6, the initiative features biweekly stories on the county’s YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram accounts, highlighting why people love living in Cherokee County. The project, suggested by Chairman Harry Johnston, also includes selling T-shirts designed by Amanda Brown, with proceeds benefiting local nonprofits. The first six featured stories include local figures like Jamie Foreman and Reyes Morales. New videos will premiere on the first and third Fridays of each month through November, with a webpage launching Oct. 1 for nominations.

STORY 5: Creekview Student Honored by National Down Syndrome Society

Cherokee County School District student Aniya Grace Symone Lott, a sophomore at Creekview High School, is being honored by the National Down Syndrome Society. Her photo, chosen from nearly 3,000 entries, will be featured in a video presentation at Times Square on Sept. 7. The photo shows Aniya celebrating her adoption day in Seaside, Fla.
