Commercial: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1: Early Voting in Cherokee County Tops 40K Cherokee County has seen over 40,000 ballots cast through early and absentee voting, with 37,561 in-person early votes and 3,536 absentee ballots returned. Early voting continues with specific hours until November 1 at various locations, including the Cherokee County Elections Office and several public libraries. The most popular polling sites are Rose Creek Public Library and Hickory Flat Public Library. One day of Sunday voting was offered on October 20. Voters must cast their ballots at assigned precincts on Election Day, November 5, and can check details at mvp.sos.ga.gov. Absentee ballots can be submitted at designated drop boxes during early voting hours. STORY 2: Two Injured in Commercial Fire on Univeter Road A fire at Carmichael Development on Univeter Road in Canton resulted in two people being hospitalized with burn injuries. The fire, reported just before 4 p.m., involved a dump truck and Conex trailer, with flames affecting a nearby commercial structure. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze and searched for additional victims, finding none. A significant diesel fuel spill required the Hazardous Materials team for cleanup. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Univeter Road was temporarily closed but reopened by 5:35 p.m. on Monday. STORY 3: Canton Postpones Decision on Pearidge Road Development The Canton City Council has delayed a decision on a mixed-use development proposal in the Pearidge community, rescheduling the vote for November 7 to allow more discussion. The proposal by Pearidge Land Investments, LLC involves annexing 62.66 acres and combining it with 8.5 acres already in Canton for a total of 70.72 acres. The plan includes 215 homes and a 1.4-acre commercial site, with amenities like a pool and dog park. The development would feature public streets, sidewalks, and open spaces. A traffic study indicates acceptable service levels for nearby roads. The council will address annexation first, followed by rezoning if approved.

Coach Dan Devine hopes to replicate their earlier season bounce-back after a defeat. Woodstock, with a 6-2 record, hosts Riverwood, who just secured their first win. Key senior players like Drew Burmeister and Isaiah Payton are crucial for Woodstock's success. The team averages 31.4 points per game, led by sophomore quarterback Graham Burmeister. Facing a Riverwood defense that allows over 35 points per game, Woodstock seeks a strong performance to secure a playoff spot, with two games left in the regular season.
