Note left on car after tires slashed MILTON, Ga. — Someone unhappy with a Milton woman’s parking job took it out on her tires Aug. 18 along Morris Road.

The woman found a tire on her SUV and the U-Haul trailer attached to it had been slashed, apparently with a knife. A note was placed on the windshield that said, “Parking like this is rude you (expletive).”

The woman said she saw a black Honda Accord, owned by a man in the same apartment complex, behind the car for a “brief moment.” She suspects the owner of the Accord slashed the tires. Milton police found fingerprints on the car but all were smudged beyond use.

The woman and employee saw a teenager in baggy jeans, blue and red tie-dye shirt, and black hair that was “knotted up at the top” driving her car near the handicapped parking spots.

There were cars lined up in front of the teenager, however, blocking his exit.

The woman approached the teen-

ager, but he jumped out of her car and ran to a white SUV with another driver to flee the area. She immediately called 911.

The store did not have any surveillance footage of the area. There were no signs of forced entry into the woman’s car, but police found a spare key fob in the car. She said she thought she had locked the vehicle.

Drunk woman arrested Harassing calls, at City Council meeting ads target woman MILTON, Ga. — A woman attempting to attend a Milton City Council meeting was arrested for public drunkenness.

Officers working security at the Aug. 21 meeting noticed a woman was unsteady on her feet and had a plastic cup containing a clear liquid with “a slight tint of red.”

The woman entered the council chambers and filled out a public comment card.

An officer asked the woman, who was still swaying, if she needed assistance. The woman said she did not need assistance, but an officer noticed her eyes were glazed over and he could smell alcohol on her breath.

When the officer asked if the liquid in cup was water she replied, “No, it’s wine. Was I not supposed to bring that in here?”

Officers stated the woman’s drink had the consistency and odor of alcohol. She was arrested for drinking in public.

Two days later, she received five texts of a “threatening nature.”

What is Traumatic Hyphema?

By Dr. Cassandra Baker

Injuries to the eye can range from very minor to visually threatening. Blunt eye trauma due to physical injury, can lead to more severe sequelae including injury to the cornea, conjunctiva, lens, retina, vitreous, optic nerve, as well as to the iris and other ocular drainage structures.

When damage to the iris and ocular drainage structures occurs, an internal eye bleed can occur. This is called a hyCassandra Baker, O.D. phema. Blunt force injuries are typically from projectile objects that hit a portion of the eye not protected by the bony orbital rim or at hit the eye at high speeds: rocks, paint balls, toys, balls, fists, pellet/BB gun bullets, airbags, bungee cords, etc.

A hyphema is the presence of blood in the anterior chamber of the eye. Its incidence has been estimated at 17-20 per 100,000 people per year. This blood is from the colored part of the eye—the iris— which has a dense network of blood vessels to supply nutrients to many parts of the eye. When one or many of these blood vessels is damaged or torn during an injury, blood leaks into the front chamber of the eye and results in decreased or complete loss of vision, eye pain, light sensitivity, increased intraocular pressure, and can result in long term effects as well. Blunt trauma with a hyphema requires immediate care and close follow up by an eye care professional.

Unfortunately, there is not an ideal way to manage and treat this condition quickly. The blood is typically monitored as it is resorbed through the drain of the eye which can take many days to sometimes weeks for full resolution. For large, persistent bleeds, the blood may need to be surgically drained.

Treatment of a traumatic hyphema involves controlling eye pain, managing eye pressure, preventing re-bleeds in the eye, minimizing corneal staining, and avoiding damage to the optic nerve. This includes using eye drops to control the pain and eye pressure if elevated, positioning of the head to allow blood to settle and minimize contact with the cornea, wearing a patch when sleeping to protect the eye from further trauma and occurrence of re-bleeds, and possibly surgery for non-resolving and severe cases.

Essentially all hyphemas result in decreased vision and pain, some more than others. However, about 32% of patients with hyphemas have elevated intraocular pressures that must be managed. Patients with preexisting glaucoma are more prone to elevated pressures after a traumatic hyphema. Fortunately, most of these pressure increases can be treated topically and return to normal with resolution.

Close monitoring by an eye care provider is necessary while the initial hyphema is present as well as after resolution for larger bleeds due to concern for long term effects including glaucoma.

Revised plan for subdivision receives approval

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

MILTON, Ga. — When the Milton City Council approved the Sweet Apple subdivision at its Aug. 21 meeting, there was no public comment on the development. Councilmembers engaged in no debate and asked few questions of city staff.

With no real fanfare, the council approved the development unanimously, 5-0.

The approval ended one of the most controversial issues the city has faced in its short history, one that brought about standing-room only meetings, a veto by Mayor Joe Lockwood, a recused councilmember commenting and so many motions councilmembers lost track.

First presented to the City Council in April 2016, developer Brightwater Homes sought to rezone 63 acres along Ebenezer Road from its current agriculture designation to a Community Unit Plan that would allow higher residential density. The rezoning would accommodate plans to place over 50 homes on lots smaller than the 1-acre minimum required under agriculture zoning. The Planning Commission had unanimously recommended denial a month earlier.

Many residents spoke against the proposal, saying the developer was cramming all of the homes into a small portion of the parcel because much of it was believed to be unbuildable.

Residents packed the council chambers for the April meeting. While most in attendance spoke in opposition to the development, others argued it would create a close-knit community and provide homes for empty-nesters.

Both sides would witness perhaps the city’s most unusual council meeting, a session that lasted well over six

JOE PARKER/HERALD

The City Council approved the Sweet Apple subdivision at its Aug. 21 meeting. The development was an updated version of a proposal that caused controversy a little over a year ago.

hours.

One councilmember recused herself due to a conflict of interest, but spoke up during discussions on the issue.

Two councilmembers appeared to be negotiating with the builders during the meeting, creating confusion among other council members as to what they were actually voting for or against.

After the confusion and deliberations ended, the council voted 4-2 approving the development.

But citing the unusual nature of the meeting, Mayor Joe Lockwood vetoed the decision just over a week later.

Lockwood issued a statement saying his veto had to do more with the “less than optimal” procedures of the meeting than whether he was opposed to the development.

“My veto is much more focused on procedure and perception than on substance,” Lockwood’s statement said.

“In the days since the April 25 meeting when this zoning was approved, the city has received multiple citizen complaints regarding the meeting procedure and, relatedly, perceptions that some participants at the meeting were given undue advantage.”

The development was back before the council in late June, with nearly 100 residents packing the old City Hall and over 85 giving public comment.

The second meeting would also go beyond midnight, but the earlier approval was reversed 4-2, with council members Joe Longoria and Rick Mohrig switching their votes.

Longoria said casting a vote on the development was one the most difficult decisions he has had to make, and he had to do it twice. He said he chose to change his stance after Mayor Lockwood’s veto allowed him time to better understand the details of the proposal, and the discrepancy between what the two zoning designations would allow.

Though it was presented by the same developer on the same parcel of land, the proposal approved at last Monday’s meeting was far different from the plan that generated all the controversy a year ago.

The new Sweet Apple proposal called for 21 homes on 38.25 acres with a trail system and ample greenspace.

Longoria said he was pleased with the new development.

“In terms of what we passed last Monday, I thought that was a great example of how a developer can utilize property in a green way,” he said.

“There was a lot of thought put into where the homes, roads, nature areas and trails would be, and I was happy with that. It was a different decision to not support the plan they had proposed last year, but I was very happy to see something that fit the current zoning.”

Strongly opposed to the original 2016 plan, candidate for City Council Laura Bentley said she is also pleased with the end result of Sweet Apple.

“The Ebenezer Road rezoning was, in my opinion, was one of the most dangerous rezonings in the history of our city because it was going to allow less than 1-acre lots and a density bonus to the developer,” she said. “Fifty homes in a rezoning versus 21 homes under AG-1 is a huge win for the community.”

Mayor, council seat to be contested in general election Qualifying extended for District 3, Post 1

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Qualifying for the Nov. 7 general election is completed for three of the four available seats on Milton’s City Council, with the seat of Mayor and District 2, Post 1 to be contested.

Qualifying for three of the seats ended Aug. 25. Qualifying for District 3, Post 1, the seat currently held by Joe Longoria, was extended to Aug. 29 after no candidates qualified.

Longoria told the Milton Herald he will be seeking re-election but was unable to qualify before the Aug. 25 deadline. He submitted his paperwork on Monday and said he had intended to run, but misunderstood the deadline.

As of press time, the extended period was still active.

Incumbent Mayor Joe Lockwood will be contested in his bid for a third full term. Lockwood has been Milton’s only Mayor, including a partial term after the city’s incorporation in 2006.

Candidates for Nov. 7 general election Mayor (at-large) •Joe Lockwood (incumbent) •Laura Rencher District 1, Post 1 •Peyton Jamison District 2, Post 1 •Laura Bentley •Bill Lusk (incumbent) District 3, Post 1 (none qualified as of press time) Lockwood will run against Laura Rencher, who co-founded the non-profit Preserve Rural Milton.

Incumbent Bill Lusk is seeking another term on the City Council and will run for District 2, Post 1.

Running against Lusk for the seat is Equestrian Committee Chair, Laura Bentley.

Peyton Jamison, Planning Commission chair, will run unopposed for the District 1, Post 1 seat. Councilmember Karen Thurman, who currently holds the seat, announced Aug. 21 that she would not be seeking re-election.

Resident Laura Rencher announces candidacy for Mayor

MILTON, Ga. — Milton resident and licensed psychologist Laura Rencher has announced her candidacy for Mayor in the Nov. 7 general election.

Rencher, who co-founded the nonprofit Preserve Rural Milton, said the main issues of her platform will be land use and the importance of planning. She said her experience as a psychologist helps her to resolve concerns in a creative way, anticipating outcomes and finding connections others cannot see.

In a statement, Rencher said city’s current leadership has not addressed creating a plan to permanently protect Milton’s undeveloped land though conservation, founding principles in the formation of Preserve Rural Milton.

“The Greenspace Bond, originally proposed by Preserve Rural Milton, is a step in the right direction, however, much more needs to be done” the statement said.

“Since 2013, over 70 new subdivisions have been started in Milton and the word ‘rural’ has been removed from city’s mission statement, plan-

ning documents, and website,” the statement said. “This is unacceptable and it is clear that we need a change of leadership.”

Rencher will focus on preserving Milton’s unique RENCHER “sense of place,” including greenspace, rural history and horse farms, maintaining and boosting the city’s quality of life and ensuring strong ethics and transparency in decision-making.

“As Mayor, [Rencher] promises to propose new approaches and look for alternative solutions, including the best ideas implemented elsewhere.

Her combination of vision, tenacity, and informed, creative problem solving will provide the right choice for voters in November,” the statement said.

Rencher has been a resident of Milton for 10 years and lives on a small horse farm with her husband and daughter.

SCHOOLS

Solar eclipse is day off for thousands of students More than half of NF students out of school on historic day

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - Fulton County School System officials are defending their decision to make Aug. 21 an excused absence for students, even though some schools operated with nearly more staff than students on the day of the solar eclipse.

“We knew absenteeism would be high,” acknowledged Susan Hale, spokesperson for Fulton Schools. “But without a similar event to compare it to,

we didn’t know exactly what to expect with the number of absences.”

Out of 95,000 students enrolled in Fulton Schools this year, about 40,300 were not in school on Aug. 21—about four in every 10 students. Schools in North Fulton saw the highest rate of absenteeism, with more than half its student population taking the day off.

The absentees were most notable in area high schools; Milton High had only 540 students show up out of a population of nearly 2,400 students. Roswell had similar numbers, with 1,831 students out of 2,240 absent on Aug. 21.

Middle school attendance varied, from Northwestern which had fewer than 300 students in school on Aug. 21 to Elkins Pointe where only 77 students were out. On average, elementary

Hale said while the district did provide guidelines that all schools had to follow, the decision on how the schools would participate in the solar eclipse was left to the school. schools were running at half capacity.

While all metro area school systems delayed afternoon dismissal during the height of the solar eclipse, not all systems opted to give students an excused absence to stay home. In Gwinnett County, the state’s largest district, students had to have a valid excuse to stay home on Aug. 21.

That decision led to critical comments on Gwinnett’s social media sites as to why a trip to see the solar eclipse could not count as an educational excursion.

In Fulton, Hale said comments were generally favorable regarding Fulton’s

decision to make it a parent choice.

“We feel we did the right thing by allowing parents to take their children out of school to observe this rare educational event without penalty to their attendance record,” said Hale.

Anecdotally, parents said some teachers actually encouraged students to stay home on Aug. 21. The directive from the school system was that teachers could not test students that day, nor could any new material be introduced.

Hale said while the district did provide guidelines that all schools had to follow, the decision on how the schools would participate in the solar eclipse was left to the school. That meant some schools allowed their students to be outside during the eclipse, while others made the decision to keep kids inside for safety reasons.

Many parents commented on Fulton’s Facebook page that they wished Fulton had a uniform policy, since some students had a great experience and others had nothing.

“It is a shame all the schools didn’t plan to do the eclipse,” one parent commented. “Really, a missed opportunity to educate and have fun! Something that seems to be missing lately.”

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

Class 7A North Gwinnett 31, Milton 28 — North Gwinnett scored a game-winning touchdown with 10 seconds remaining to hand Milton a heartbreaking loss at home.

Milton took a 21-10 lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Bulldogs took the lead less than two minutes later with a long passing touchdown and a fumble recovery that set up another score.

With just over five minutes remaining, Milton reclaimed the lead with a quarterback keeper from Jordan Yates.

North Gwinnett then compiled the

game-winning drive, sealing the win with a 3-yard rushing touchdown with 10 seconds remaining.

North Gwinnett improved to 3-0 alltime against Milton with the win.

Dawson Co. 9, Forsyth Central 0 The only player to get on the scoring sheet between Dawson County and Forsyth Central Friday night was Tigers’ kicker Peyton Allen, who led Dawson to its first win over the Bulldogs since 2013. The Bulldogs are 8-6 all-time against Dawson.

Forsyth Central’s loss was its first in a season-opening game since 2013.

Mountain View 31, Lambert 13 — Lambert fell to Mountain View to open its season for the second straight year on Friday.

After the Bears opened a 21-3 lead, Lambert cut the deficit with a Bobby Gabriel touchdown pass just before

the half. However, Mountain View scored less than a minute into the third quarter to go up three scores, a lead it maintained the rest of the game.

North Forsyth 28, Johns Creek 6 — By halftime the final score was already set as Johns Creek fell to 0-2 to open its first season under head coach Matt Helmerich.

North Forsyth opened a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but a 57-yard pass from Gladiators’ quarterback Zach Gibson to Matthew Casey cut the lead to 14-6 after a failed 2-point conversion.

North added two more touchdowns before halftime with the Raiders’ defense holding Johns Creek on multiple fourth down attempts to seal the win.

South Forsyth 56, Pinecrest Academy 10 — Though South Forsyth and Pinecrest are separated by just over a mile, South’s second straight blowout of the Paladins showed the programs are leagues apart.

South scored four touchdowns in the opening quarter, including three strikes from Cal Morris, before scoring 28 more points in the second quarter.

Jared Honey and Jordan Brunson each had two rushing scores for South in the win.

Class 6A Alpharetta 29, Gainesville 7 — Alpharetta’s Dylan Schorr went 5-5 on field goals against Gainesville Friday night, kicking the Raiders to their first victory of the season.

Schorr connected from 25, 28, 33, 26, and 35 yards in a game that saw Alpharetta score 16 of its points in the second quarter.

Quarterback Matthew Downing threw a 67-yard touchdown pass, and Nolan Edmunds added a 1-yard rushing score for the Raiders.

Creekview 41, Cambridge 28 — Cambridge pounced on Creekview early, but a big third quarter from Creekview powered the Grizzlies to their sixth straight win over the Bears.

Cambridge quarterback Hogan Dykes hit Ridge Polk for a 47-yard touchdown in the opening minutes, and the two teams exchanged scores with the Bears holding a 14-13 lead at the half.

Lambert dropped its season-opener to Mountain View, 31-13, last Friday.

Creekview scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter, enough separation to keep the Bears at bay when a failed onside kick late in the fourth sealed the Grizzlies’ win.

Chattahoochee 22, Rockdale Co. 13 — Chattahoochee downed Rockdale County for the second straight year, sealing the win with a touchdown in the final half of the fourth quarter.

Both teams exchanged the lead in the first half, with the Cougars holding a 15-13 edge at halftime.

Midway through the fourth, Chattahoochee’s Brendan Huet came up with an interception, setting up the game-sealing touchdown for the Cougars.

Wheeler 42, Centennial 38 — Centennial opened its season, the first under head coach Michael Perry, with a heartbreaking loss to Wheeler at home. In a back-and-forth game that featured six lead changes, the Knights led 30-28 with four minutes remaining before on onslaught of scoring.

Wheeler took a 35-30 lead with just under four minutes to go, but Centennial responded with a rushing touchdown from Emeka Nwanze to reclaim the lead with 1:35 remaining.

On its ensuing drive, Wheeler converted a third and long from its own territory, eventually setting up a touchdown pass with just 10 seconds remaining to go up 42-38.

With one final chance, Centennial quarterback Max Brosmer’s desperation

Cambridge falls short in season-opener Bears downed

by Creekview, 41-28

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

CANTON, Ga. — Cambridge head coach Craig Bennett said in any season-opening game, there are bound to be highlights, but often as a team shakes off the cobwebs from the offseason, they are accompanied by lowlights.

Bennett said he saw both in Cambridge’s 41-28 loss to Creekview Friday night, the Bears’ sixth-straight loss to the Cherokee County team.

One of the highlights for the Bears was the play of quarterback Hogan Dykes and Ridge Polk. “[Dykes] played extremely well for his first varsity start,” Bennett said. “He handled the pressure well.”

Polk had over 100-yards receiving in what Bennett called a “phenomenal” game for the junior receiver.

“Defensively, we made some mistakes against a good team that is well coached,” Bennett said. “They just made some plays in the second half that we didn’t.”

Two touchdown connections from Dykes to Polk gave Cambridge a 14-13

lead at the half, but the Grizzlies would score three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter to take a two-score lead. Cambridge cut that lead with another touchdown pass from Dykes to Polk, but Creekview put the game away midway through the fourth with another score.

Bennett said he will not hang his team’s miscues on the players, but rather himself and the coaching staff.

“I own that loss,” he said. “From a standpoint of mistakes, it was us as coaches not putting our kids in the best position at times. I’m proud of our kids, they played hard.”

Now that the Bears’ have game experience, Bennett said his team, including the coaches, will look to make positive strides.

“The biggest improvement you see during a season is from week one to week two,” he said. “We now know what we have to work on, we know what we have to do better as coaches and continue to keep doing what we did well.”

“It all comes back to where your preparation must meet your expectations.”

Cambridge will take on cross-town rivals Milton this Friday on the road.

The Bears fell just short, 28-21, against the Class 7A Eagles last season.

[The tour law] has been a huge barrier to getting people into the taproom ...Customers had to go through leaps and bounds just to get into the brewery.

TYLER ZARI, Jekyll Brewing’s taproom and events manager 13 | Milton Herald | August 31, 2017

Local breweries prepare for beer bill to go into effect New law will permit direct sales to patrons

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — The state’s beer laws will get a much appreciated update for beer lovers Sept. 1 when Senate Bill 85 goes into effect. The law allows breweries to sell directly to customers, up to a case per person per day.

The new law also permits on-site consumption of beer without requiring visitors to purchase a tour of the facility.

Under the previous law, brewery visitors were required to pay for a tour and were then allowed to sample a limited amount of offerings. Direct sales were prohibited.

In Alpharetta, Jekyll Brewing’s taproom and events manager Tyler Zari said the new regulations will make visiting breweries far more appealing. “[The tour law] has been a huge barrier to getting people into the taproom,” he said. “Customers had to go through leaps and bounds just to get into the brewery.”

Zari said the Alpharetta brewery is “thrilled” about the new law, which played into their decision to expand their taproom. The renovation includes 16 taps, a new bar and a coffee roaster with multiple coffee offerings in addition to beer. The renovation should be complete by the time the law goes into effect.

Not only will local patrons benefit

from the new laws, out-of-state visitors will no longer need a primer of the state’s beer laws before entering the brewery, Zari said.

“Once people get used to not having to take a tour, people will be more inclined to visit the taproom,” he said.

Expecting an increase in visitors when the law takes effect, Jekyll will be offering more brews, events and parties. Regulation now permit breweries to sell up to 3,000 barrels per year, about 41,000 cases.

“We’re brewing a lot of new beers to be poured in the taproom that people can’t get anywhere else,” Zari said.

To kick off the new regulations, Jekyll will be offering new selections starting Sept. 1.

Roswell’s Abbey of the Holy Goats will also ring in the new law with a new brew, their first to be exclusively released in the taproom.

The brewery will also expand its hours open to the public and will donate a percentage of its proceeds from Sept. 1 to the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild.

One local brewery, Cumming’s Cherry Street, won’t be directly affected by the new law.

Cherry Street is a brewpub coupled with Rick Tanner’s Grille and Bar. The brewery has been able to sell “to-go” bottles and growlers since SB 63 took effect in June of 2015.

However, the brewery will still be celebrating the new law with an event releasing barrel-aged beers for the first time in “crowlers,” 32-ounce cans, a day before the new law takes effect.

Though SB 85 won’t alter operations

JOE PARKER/HERALD

When Senate Bill 85 takes effect Sept. 1, breweries will be able to sell up to a case per day directly to customers. at Cherry Street, owner Nick Tanner still called the new regulations “mon-

umental” for Georgia’s craft brewing industry.

GSU GEORGIA ECONOMIC FORECAST:

BUSINESSPOSTS

Fintech, information sectors show jobs growth Upward employment trend weakens across Georgia

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA – While much of Georgia struggles with job growth, the information and financial activities (fintech) sectors are propping up the state’s jobs picture.

That was part of the economic forecast delivered Aug. 23 by Rajeev Dhawan, director of Georgia State University’s Economic Forecasting Center.

Much like the economy itself, Georgia’s jobs growth has been slipping after peaking at 32,000 jobs per quarter in 2014. Jobs fell to 28,500 per quarter in 2015 before rebounding to 30,000 jobs after a slow start in 2016.

But 2017 has been sluggish, with a 25 percent fall-off from 2016 averaging only 24,500 jobs in the last two quar-

Economic Forecasting Center’s Georgia, Atlanta highlights • Georgia employment will gain 86,100 jobs (22,300 premium jobs) in calendar year 2017, 72,800 jobs (17,700 premium) in 2018 and 68,300 (16,400 premium) in 2019.

• Atlanta will add 65,500 jobs (17,400 premium jobs) in calendar year 2017, 51,800 jobs (13,100 premium) in 2018 and 47,200 jobs (11,400 premium) in 2019.

ters.

In the first six months the information sector grew by 4,100 new jobs (after registering no new jobs in the last half of 2016).

“This is one of the strongest six months of job additions since the first half of 2014,” Dhawan said.

Georgia boasts such major fintech companies as Kabbage, TSYS, Equifax and WorldPay along with such major insurance corporations as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente.

Fintech added nearly 7,000 new jobs in the first six months this year, more than doubling the 3,000 jobs in the previous six months.

In all, fintech, information, healthcare, transportation and wholesale represent industries with higher paying jobs, so their growth has huge ripple effect implications for the state’s entire economy.

However, grouped together, these companies added 32,000 jobs so far in 2017 but are short of matching the 37,000 jobs these sectors added in the last six months 2016.

National forecast: Fed rate hike, tax cuts coming Nationally, Dhawan said we can expect a personal income tax cut and a Federal Reserve rate hike.

This will occur after “October debt ceiling deliberations that at times will border on theatrics,” Dhawan said. “It will first get a bit shaky in October as the debt ceiling debate unnerves the financial markets, but only for a short while. Having no big legislative victories by then, Congress will tee up a personal income tax cut by Thanksgiving.”

A small personal income tax cut for the middle class will boost consumption and growth into 2018, but Dhawan

said he expects it will be followed by an interest rate hike in December.

“You tap the brakes harder only if you are gathering speed,” Dhawan said. “But, there is one small caveat on which a rate hike hinges. Markets will punish uncertainty surrounding the future head of the Federal Reserve.”

Janet Yellen’s term as Federal Reserve Board Chair ends Feb. 1, 2018.

In the short term, the forecaster does not foresee much happening regarding infrastructure.

“I do not expect much infrastructure spending in coming years,” Dhawan wrote. “If it happens, it will help growth in 2019 and beyond. The multiplier takes a long time to originate from

these types of spending.”

Meanwhile, Dhawan does not foresee international markets generating any problems. He said the appreciation found in the global stock markets is a sign there is little to worry about.

“Markets can live with political dysfunction as long as the playing field rules are not changed capriciously,” Dhawan said. “They are signaling the Trump administration’s rhetoric versus its actual and projected actions on trade are not matching up.” The lack of any tariffs imposed on China suggests the current administration is still relying on President Xi Jinping to manage the “real problem child in the geopolitical domain, North Korea.

Delta Dental expansion brings 200 jobs to Roswell ROSWELL, Ga. – Delta Dental Insurance Co. is expanding its footprint in Roswell, signing a lease for 51,265 additional square feet of space in Sanctuary Park and bringing up to 200 new jobs to the city.

Part of the nation’s largest dental benefits carrier, Delta Dental will have 215,265 square feet of Class A office space leased.

The company will take occupancy in October of the top two floors at Stonebridge II, at 1120 Sanctuary Parkway in that portion that lies within Roswell’s

city limits.

The expansion brings Delta Dental’s total number of employees to 1,000.

Most of the growth will take place in the company’s customer service unit.

Roswell Inc has been involved with this project since February of 2016.

“We knew this office space would become available before it hit the market.

We also knew Delta Dental was looking at expansion opportunities locally,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc. “So we were able to connect the dots and get all the right people at

the table in a timely way to make this deal happen.

“Anytime you add this many jobs to a local economy, it’s a big deal for the community.”

Delta Dental is part of a group of companies under common management that collectively serve 36.5 million enrollees nationwide.

Sanctuary Park houses one of three national customer service centers as well as sales, enrollment and other key departments “We’re delighted to have found a

LEED Gold building, and we’ll be building out the interior to those standards as well,” said Tonia Leonardos, facilities director for Delta Dental.

This expansion takes place within the boundary of the Roswell Opportunity Zone, an area of the city designated as part of the state incentive program to encourage redevelopment and revitalization.

The incentive offers companies tax credits for new jobs created for up to five years, which was a large factor in securing the lease.

Norton says Forsyth County will continue strong growth Home prices, population targeted for increases

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County is well on its way to reaching half a million residents by 2047, according to Frank Norton, the CEO and chairman of The Norton Agency which specializes in North Georgia real estate.

Norton takes data from communities in northeast Georgia such as Forsyth County and compares and predicts future outcomes including population size, housing market and workforce.

About 10 years ago, Georgia Tech published a study that looked at metro Atlanta in 2050. By 2050, it said metro Atlanta will have 12.5 million people, about double what the population is today.

“As I’ve said for the last 10 years, Atlanta isn’t going to move to us, Atlanta is going to move through us,” Norton said. “If that’s the case, how do we in Forsyth County maintain the soul, spirit, connectivity we share and quality of life in our community?”

Norton said he looks at Forsyth County in stages, starting with its founding in the 1830s as an agricultural-based community until the 1970s.

When Lake Lanier was created, the county became a place to buy a second home and a recreational community.

It wasn’t until Ga. 400 was completed that the community moved into a bedroom phase where people flocked for quality of life, price of homes and a soon-to-be exceptional school system.

“We were North Atlanta’s community bedroom,” Norton said. “We were the affordable choice.”

Then from 1975 to today, the county decided to step up as a vibrant business player in all of metro Atlanta, including the technology and service medical industries.

It wasn’t until 1980 that population boomed in Forsyth County. From 1980 to 1990, the county saw a 60 percent growth rate. Then from 1990 to 2010, the growth rate rose to 77.4 percent.

But so far from 2010 to 2017, the growth rate has dropped to 44.2 percent, which Norton speculates will remain steady until 2047.

From that data, Norton anticipates the county population will rise from about 230,000 currently, to about 270,000 in 2022 and 495,000 in 2047.

In 1990, the population was 44,000

and it jumped to 175,000 in 2010.

However, if the county keeps up the 77 percent growth rate that it had from 19902010, the population could end up around 720,000, but Norton doesn’t anticipate NORTON that. That’s the size of Gwinnett County, which is double the geographic size of Forsyth County.

“It’ll temper based on what’s happening in the national economy,” Norton said. “But momentum of growth is already in our way. Whether our elected leaders put up a wall, there will still be industries that will hop over and you will grow.”

Another significant transformation has been the median home value.

It went from $155,000 in 1990 to just over $300,000 currently, and Norton anticipates it will climb to $626,000

As I’ve said for the last 10 years, Atlanta isn’t going to move to us, Atlanta is going to move through us,” Norton said. “If that’s the case, how do we in Forsyth County maintain the soul, spirit, connectivity we share and quality of life in our community?”

in 2047.

Norton stressed the importance of affordable housing and said if the trends stay where they are now, not many people will be able to afford living in Forsyth County.

“We are going to grow,” Norton said.

“If we run this county the same way we did in 1990, we might as well be the state of Georgia. We will lose our identity and the humanness of Forsyth County.”

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA:

The ghost trestle of the Chattahoochee gorge

As the weather cools, I start to think more and more about hiking.

Everybody feels better as fall approaches, and I’m no exception. It doesn’t take much to get me thinking STEVE HUDSON about exploring the Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net outdoors on foot.

That’s where my head was the other day as I set out to explore a remote part of the Chattahoochee River near Helen, far back in the Chattahoochee National Forest. I actually had a serious reason for the trip -- shooting some more photos for the new book on fishing for Chattahoochee trout. The day’s assignment was to shoot photos in a remote section of the upper Chattahoochee that I call “the gorge.” Sure, serious work was on the docket -- but if I happened to STEVE HUDSON squeeze in a little flyfishing along the Fishing in the upper Chattahoochee near the ghost trestle. way, that would be just fine too.

COMMUNITY

Milton PD outlines parking for Milton, Cambridge football game MILTON, Ga. — With as many as 10,000 fans expected to attend the Milton vs. Cambridge football game on Sept. 1 at Cambridge, city officials are advising residents to expect heavy traffic delays in the area.

In addition to positioning the city’s digital message boards ahead of Friday’s game to alert drivers of the expected traffic delays, the city is also offering the following detailed parking instructions: • Parents dropping off students for the game should use Cambridge’s upper parking lot off of Bethany Bend Road.

• Game night parking is available in both the Cambridge upper and lower lots and the Kings Ridge Christian School lower lot on Cogburn Road.

• All vehicles will be required to exit right from their parking lot and police

officials suggest that fans select their parking lot based on their final destination after the game.

• Stonecreek Church is also offering fan parking for those who wish to park and walk over to the stadium.

• Attendees should refrain from parking on the shoulders of roadways to avoid ticketing or towing.

Northbound commuters on Cogburn Road are strongly encouraged to avoid this area if possible, by taking an alternate route via Hopewell Road or Ga. Hwy 9. The suggested alternate routes may add more miles to a commute, but could help minimize traffic delays.

“We appreciate the community’s patience while we work to ensure a safe and smooth game night experience for the fans and all our residents,” said Rich Austin, chief of police.
