Story 1. puppies
Two women are facing charges of animal cruelty after leaving a litter of puppies in a container outside in 95-degree heat, resulting in the death of all seven puppies. The incident occurred less than a mile from the Cherokee County Animal Shelter. The women had initially taken the puppies to the shelter but left after being asked to wait in their car due to a cat in the lobby and not having their ID ready. They later abandoned the puppies on the side of the road in a pink storage tote without water, proper ventilation, or shade. The investigation is ongoing.

STORY 2: boundary
The Canton City Council has approved a growth boundary agreement with Cherokee County, slightly expanding the city's potential growth area. The agreement allows both parties to support annexations into the city within certain areas. The proposal includes an expiration date of Aug. 23, 2054. Additionally, the council discussed updates on pedestrian crossing projects, including the Downtown to The Mill at West Main Pedestrian Corridor project and the Riverstone Parkway Pedestrian Crossing project. The council also held a public hearing on the city's 2040 comprehensive plan, which is required to be updated every five years. Residents will have several opportunities to provide input on the plan. Discussions on a potential concept plan for the North Canton Cottage Village are ongoing.
Story 3: rezoning
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved the rezoning of a property in Hickory Flat owned by a local Chick-fil-A franchise owner, Kevin Williams. The property was rezoned for agricultural use, and Williams was asked to obtain a special use permit to use it as a commercial gathering space. The initial request to rezone part of the property to office institutional was denied, and the entire property was rezoned to agriculture. Williams plans to use the building as a meeting space for employees and other organizations. The board also approved an agreement with the Cherokee Office of Economic Development to allocate $1.5 million from federal American Rescue Plan Act grant funding for employment opportunities and the Be Pro Be Proud initiative.

Story 6: burn
The burn ban in unincorporated Cherokee County has been lifted to allow residents to dispose of storm debris caused by severe weather recently. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division agreed to lift the ban through October 1, enabling residents to burn trees, brush, and stumps resulting from the storm. Other storm debris, such as damaged housing, is classified as solid waste and cannot be burned. Routine land clearing burning of debris larger than 6 inches requires a permit from the Cherokee County Fire Marshal's Office. Restrictions on other types of open burning remain in effect. The exception applies to unincorporated areas of Cherokee County, Nelson, and Waleska.
