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