STORY 2: moratorium
Cherokee County is ending a moratorium on development applications for the area near Sixes Road and Interstate 575, allowing new projects to proceed. The moratorium was initially imposed to facilitate coordinated planning between the county and local cities to ensure quality development and address traffic congestion concerns in the I-575 and Sixes Road Interchange Area. The Comprehensive Plan, which designates the area as a "Wild Cat" character zone, emphasizing major employment and mixed-use development, has been adopted. Plans for transportation improvements are underway through intergovernmental agreements with surrounding cities. Other approved actions include funding agreements, land purchases, and program allocations for community development and housing initiatives.
Story 3: hornet
The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) has confirmed the detection of a living yellow-legged hornet in Georgia for the first time, marking the first instance of a live yellow-legged hornet detected in the open United States. The GDA, in collaboration with the USDA and the University of Georgia, is urging the public to report sightings of this non-native hornet species that could potentially threaten honey production, native pollinators, and the agricultural industry. A beekeeper in Savannah reported the sighting, and the identification was confirmed by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The GDA is working on a plan to trap, track, and eradicate the yellow-legged hornet in Georgia.
