The meeting covered topics such as infrastructure, including the ongoing road widening of Highway 20 and the expansion of Bluffs Parkway.

Carter sought feedback on potential sales taxes to reduce property taxes.

A public input meeting is scheduled for November 2nd at the Hickory Flat Gym, and residents are encouraged to attend. This meeting will involve voting on conceptual designs for the proposed Hickory Flat Area Park. The county recently acquired a 40-acre tract with the goal of developing a new recreation and parks facility to improve the quality of life for the local community.

STORY 3: FBI Warns of Increase in Threats Against Jewish, Muslim and Arab Communities
With the increased tensions around the world, the FBI released a public service announcement on behalf of FBI Atlanta and Special Agent in Charge Keri Farley on Thursday. Farley’s announcement reads: “The FBI is continuing to monitor threats associated with the Israel-HAMAS conflict, both in the United States and overseas. As the conflict continues, the FBI has seen an increase in reports of threats against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities and institutions, raising our concern that violent extremists and lone offenders motivated by or reacting to ongoing events could target these communities. We take all potential threats seriously and are working closely with our law enforcement partners to determine their credibility, share information, and take appropriate investigative action. As we are communicating with our law enforcement partners, faith communities, and others, this Public Service Announcement is being released by the FBI and DHS to the American public to help protect our communities. We ask members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement or contact their local FBI Office: www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices. Tips can also be submitted to tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL FBI. The FBI Atlanta Division is working closely with our law enforcement partners across Georgia to share information and identify and disrupt any threats that may emerge in our communities. To report information in Georgia, contact FBI Atlanta at 770-216-3000, or submit a tip to tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL FBI.”
