By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry were stolen June 25 during a home invasion where two suspects physically assaulted and tied up a grandmother.

Police received a distress call at 10:40 p.m. that two masked men with handguns had entered a house on Barnesley Lane.

One of the victims, a 25-year-old woman, told police that she had been in her room at 8:40 p.m. that night when a large, armed man burst in. She was directed downstairs, where she saw her two grandmothers already bound and lying on the floor.

All three victims were zip-tied before

the suspects began ransacking the home, police said.

During the altercation, the suspects hit one of the grandmothers, who is 74 years old, in the face.

She was treated on the scene for her injuries.

The men took a family safe, $86,000 in cash, and several pieces of jewelry, including a golden cross pendant, gold rings and a gold bracelet. They also took the keys to one of the victim’s 2017 silver Honda Accord and left with the car.

It was later found abandoned on Braceridge Road.

Once one of the women was able to free herself, she immediately called 911.

Both suspects are described as black men wearing dark clothing with face masks that covered all but their mouth

and chin.

One was described as skinny and the other as heavy-set.

Both were wearing gloves, but the glove worn by the larger man on his right hand had the first and middle fingers exposed.

The victims’ family told police that one of the neighborhood’s security guards had been parking “very close” to and facing their residence over the past several months. They also mentioned seeing a white van parked nearby as well all day.

Police said they have “several strong leads” they are investigating. Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call the Alpharetta Crime Stoppers Tip Hotline at 678297-6307.

car tag number.

The SUV driver said while traveling on Ga. 400, he saw two motorcycles in the far left lane driving around multiple vehicles.

The cyclists were also apparently speeding, then slowing down. He said at one point the bikes were apart from each other, so he made a lane change and got in between.

At that point, the motorcycles reportedly drove up closely to the SUV and started to “intimidate him by moving their bikes closer and closer to his vehicle,” the incident report said.

The SUV driver said at one point a motorcycle driver signaled a Mustang to drive on the bumper of the SUV. The motorist said one of the cyclists pulled up next to his SUV and punched out the driver side mirror causing it to shatter.

The deputy spoke to the Mustang driver who said the SUV wasn’t letting the motorcycles pass and almost hit one, so he drove up to be a witness.

The motorcyclists told investigators the SUV driver and his passengers were yelling at them, so they swerved into the SUV. One driver did confirm he hit the side mirror because he said the SUV nearly hit the other motorcyclist.

Another witness pulled up and said she saw the motorcyclists driving rapidly and changing lanes. She said when the motorcycles were split up, they waved to the Mustang and that car got on the SUV’s bumper.

She said she didn’t see the mirror broken.

One of the cyclists, a 22-year-old, was cited for driving without proper class of license.

The other, a 21-year-old, was cited for aggressive driving and arrested for criminal trespass – damage.

All crime reports published by Appen Media Group are compiled from public records. Neither the law enforcement agencies nor Appen Media Group implies any guilt by publishing these names. None of the persons listed has been convicted of the alleged crimes.

Police seek customer who swapped pills FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A man reportedly purchased over-the-counter medicine, then returned it for a refund after swapping out the pills.

An employee at the Target on Peachtree Parkway told deputies the suspect purchased a 24-count box of Nexium. He then took the product home, carefully opened the box without it appearing to have been opened. The suspect then reportedly replaced the pills inside with beans and resealed the package, which he then returned.

After receiving the $24 refund, the man left the store.

The suspect is a 38-year-old man who has been arrested at another Target in Tucker. Surveillance video showed the

Woman arrested in dispute over borrowed cellphone

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 26-year-old woman was arrested recently after she refused to return a borrowed cellphone at a local gas station.

The woman walked to a gas station near Ga. 400 after having been involved in a car crash. She was reported to have sat on the floor yelling and cussing into a cellphone she borrowed from the store manager.

A deputy was summoned to speak with the woman, and the manager also said she needed her phone back.

The woman yelled about needing her phone and threw the device down. The deputy told the woman to calm down, but the suspect replied: “Don’t tell me what to do,” and walked away.

The deputy ordered her to stop and attempted to grab her wrist, but she pulled away again and cussed at the deputy.

The struggle required assistance from another deputy who succeeded in getting the woman into handcuffs. While leading her to the car, the woman broke free of the cuffs.

She was placed in a pair of nylon hand restraints and taken to the Forsyth County Detention Center. The deputy executed two warrants for obstruction and disorderly conduct.

County considers more than $1 million for district visions

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County is considering pouring more than a million dollars into a plan to develop “visions” for its five commission districts.

At its June 26 meeting, the County Commission said the idea would be to provide each district with $250,000 to aid in community branding, community beautification, micro-land use design, community nodes, sub-areas, medians, intersections and trail opportunities.

The proposal is still in the discussion stages, and the board will revisit and hone the plan in coming months.

County Attorney Ken Jarrard said the plan would give districts a chance to back projects specific to their communities.

Any specific appropriation would have to come back to the commission for approval, Jarrard said, because this is not money that can be spent without authorization.

“The next time you all come to the county or board with an initiative your citizens in your district are demanding or requesting, you actually got budgeted funds to assist you, so we aren’t all scratching our heads looking around for where the money will come from,” Jarrard said.

County Manager Eric Johnson said this will help the districts provide better

branding for their communities, which is something they’ve found through the potential Sharon Springs incorporation earlier this year.

“This allows you to recognize the unique requirements of the different communities,” Johnson said. “It also allows you the opportunity to have different visions for different areas. This is an excellent way to respond to community building.”

The money will most likely come from the upcoming budget, with the money available if the commission believes it’s a priority.

Commissioner Laura Semanson said she likes funding a project like this, but thinks the wording of the proposal is too broad.

“It gives us enough rope to hang ourselves,” she said. “If we broaden it to include certain things if we have instances we need to include certain things like to hire a consultant to work on some sort of standard, versus just overloading staff with our personal work and not have to pay for it out of the money.”

She said she’s heard comments of not wanting to go to outside consultants to fund work done in certain districts.

“Our staff plainly cannot handle it,” Semanson said. “There have been histories of other projects that have weighed down staff. Those would’ve likely been better candidates to have been done by a consultant. There needs to be a clear delineation of

I’ve also heard we aren’t close enough to the citizens for district representation. These dollars are an opportunity to form our own committees and look at not just a 50,000 foot view, but the corridors of influence, keep true to our comprehensive plan and look at how we can do it in each area with a different group of citizens. It’ll be up to the district commissioner to decide how much they want to engage with the community.”

Cindy Jones Mills Forsyth County Commissioner things that are funded through this mechanism versus those who will continue to lean on staff so it frees up the rest of their money to basically double dip at the expense of staff.”

Commission Chairman Todd Levent said he understands the concern and if it weighs down staff too much, they can withdraw. He also said the voting will help lessen the burden on staff and they can suggest using consultants.

Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills said she often hears the county is in a reactive mode rather than proactive.

“This is a way through these dollars to be more proactive,” she said.

County, city work on spending plan for sales tax

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The discussion continues on a project list for money generated by a special purpose local sales tax if it wins voter approval this November.

Renewal of the special 1 percent sales tax, which has been approved by voters every time it has come up since 1987, will be on the ballot this fall and will run for five years.

Forsyth County is projected to receive $274 million from the tax, which funds capital projects including park renovations, infrastructure improvements and new buildings.

County Attorney Ken Jarrard said county commissioners expressed interest in being as flexible as possible with the money and projects.

At a June 26 meeting, the commission voted unanimously to authorize Jarrard to prepare a formal intergovernmental agreement with the City of Cum-

of $1 million. Additionally, they asked Jarrard to include language for funding toward a City of Cumming Bypass, with authorization for the county manager to transmit the intergovernmental agreement to the city for their consideration and ratification.

The board must decide in the coming weeks on whether to use $100 million of SPLOST funds to repay past general obligation bonds and what specific transportation projects the money will be used for in the future.

At the meeting, the commission finalized a list of projects that was sent to the city. The list splits projects by county and city needs.

The city’s cut of the sales tax proceeds is based on its share of the county’s total population.

The county projects include: • Roads, streets, bridges and sidewalks $153 million • Park and Recreation $44 million • Public Safety (sheriff) $11.5 million • Public Safety (fire) $15 million

• Senior Service facilities $5.6 million • Water and Sewer $10 million • Administrative facilities $9 million • Library $9.7 million • Storm water/drainage project $250,000 • Animal Service project $956,000 • Veteran Memorial project $500,000 The city projects include: • Roads, streets, bridges and sidewalks, to include funding toward a City of Cumming bypass $13.5 million • Dobbs Creek Recreation Center project $1 million Each of the projects may include, land, facilities, equipment, vehicles and any other capital costs related to the project.

The county and the city will be responsible for their own projects. This includes costs of building, operating, equipping, maintaining and insuring the projects.

removed. However, if you can catch the signs early and call for an arborist, it may be possible to treat the sickness or damage and save the tree. Keep an eye out for these common signs of trouble: • Look for wilting or oddly-colored leaves, either along one or two limbs or all over the tree.

• Check for cracks appearing in primary limbs or even in the trunk of the tree.

• Examine dead branches, which may simply need pruning, but which can also indicate that a tree is in poor health.

• Watch for decaying or hollow spots, especially along the trunk and around the joints of the limbs.

• Look for insect damage, such as chewed leaves, holes made by burrowing bugs, silk webs and nests, and dripping sap or honeydew.

Xpress transit services serve thousands annually

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com

We’re still the best Vote us “Best Breakfast” in North Atlanta (Voting starts July 15 at NorthFulton.com)

Eating breakfast i b kf can be just a meal or it can be an event. It can be an event because the food is so fresh, so made from scratch, so healthy and savory that, well, it’s no longer just eating. It becomes an indulgence — a reward you give yourself.

The Original Pancake House turns your breakfast into an event that helps you get through the week – something that you can look forward to and enjoy instead of just having a meal.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Since the early 2000s, many Forsyth residents have taken advantage of the Xpress transit services which connects passengers from Cumming to downtown Atlanta. According to recent data Levent from last year, the usage isn’t slowing down.

Jonathan Ravenelle, grants program manager for the State Road &Tollway Authority, gave an update June 26 on the program for the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners.

He said currently, Xpress operates 27 routes in 12 metro Atlanta counties which carry more than 1.8 million passenger trips annually. That equates to removing about 1.5 million vehicles from the roadway, he estimated.

“Overall, Xpress connects 3.4 million Georgia residents to over 375,000 jobs across the region,” Ravenelle said.

In Forsyth County, Xpress offers three bus routes to two locations, including on Ga. 400 which connects the Cumming parking lot to downtown Atlanta, Perimeter Center and to the Chamblee MARTA station.

In 2017, there were 87,000 passenger trips on those three routes, Ravenelle said.

Overall, the three routes cost $860,000 in operating expenses, which are paid in part by the Federal Transit Authority through the State Road & Toll-

way Authority.

A number of projects are in the works, he said, to make the services more effective.

The first includes the Breeze migration project which will phase out magnetic cards used by MARTA that will now be able to be used by Xpress, too.

“Moving from Breeze will provide a better transit service for customers,” Ravenelle said. “It will give riders better control, creates better regional travel, better service and savings as riders have the option to transfer from services for free. The fares will not increase as part of this project.”

A second project is the fleet reinvestment project to improve the reliability and efficiency of the fleet. Ravenelle said the service plans to replace models from prior to 2006-2009.

“We’d like to thank Forsyth County for its continued support over the last 10 years,” he said. “The funding has really helped us continue the operations to run into Forsyth County as well as help build upon the service to make it more dynamic and efficient.”

Commission Chairman Todd Levent said in order to get the higher paying jobs in the county, it’s important to provide transit options, like Xpress.

“One of the biggest hurdles to hire the millennials for these jobs is that they’ll live more into the metro Atlanta area or inside the Perimeter,” Levent said. “That was our biggest hurdle. As they get married, they’ll then move out to areas like Forsyth County. This could help get us over that hurdle by getting them to where they have transportation to those jobs and back down.”

Transportation secretary announces Ga. 400 grant

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Local, state and national elected officials joined with the community June 29 to welcome U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao to Forsyth County when she announced awarding of a $184 million grant to fund the Ga. 400 express lane project.

Chao was joined by U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, U.S. Rep. Karen Handel, Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry, state Sen. Brandon Beach, state Rep. Kevin Tanner and Christopher Tomlinson, executive director of the State Road and Tollway Authority.

The event was held off Exit 12 on Ga. 400, part of the 17 miles targeted for the express lane project.

“This important project will enhance safety, decrease travel times and improve the quality of life for the people in this area,” Chao said. “I’m also pleased to note it maximizes non-federal funding, incorporating private sector financing, and plans for life-cycle costs. So I commend local officials for taking the long-term view and incorporating the

cost of maintaining, as well as building, these new roads.”

While many parts of the project are still in the works, drivers could see construction of express lanes on Ga. 400 in early 2021. Beginning at I-285, two express lanes in each direction will run along Ga. 400 north to McGinnis Ferry Road.

Continuing north, single express lanes in each direction will run to McFarland Parkway.

Roughly 230,000 vehicles travel the stretch daily. This project will add 65 lane miles to the Ga. 400 corridor and should reduce 18 percent in delays, planners say.

Final design work will start in 2020 with construction estimated to begin in 2021 and end in 2024.

Chao said local government is a natural partner in infrastructure.

“Counties own and maintain 46 percent of the nation’s public roads, 38 percent of its bridges and more than a third of our public airports,” she said.

“They help pay for 78 percent of the public transit systems. The Department of Transportation’s role is to be your partner, because you know best the infrastructure needs of your com-

munity.”

Currently, GDOT is conducting studies to determine alignments, express lanes configurations and access points.

The preliminary cost estimate is $1.8 billion.

This widening is part of the Major Mobility Investment Program through the Georgia Department of Transportation.

An initial 11 projects were pinpointed that will create additional capacity, improve freight movement, provide transportation improvements and efficiencies, enhance safety and decrease travel times.

Those projects include three major interstate projects, four major express lane projects like the one on Ga. 400, three major interstate widening projects and one commercial vehicle lanes project.

According to GDOT, the projects will save Georgians $1 billion in personal income and create 13,000 new jobs from the state’s investment in highway improvements.

Additionally, they will spur $2 billion in growth to the state economy through the addition of more than 300 new lane miles, state officials say.

Commissioners continue discussion on short-term rental ordinance

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A recent stakeholder meeting with those on both sides of the debate over the county’s new shortterm rental ordinance drew a packed house and plenty of heated debate.

Semanson At a Forsyth County Commission meeting June 26, County Attorney Ken Jarrard said he heard plenty of passionate discussion at the meeting.

Largely due to the attraction of Lake Lanier, Forsyth County now contains more than 400 short-term rental properties, many in residential areas and whose owners advertise on sites like Airbnb and Vacation Rental

by Owner.

The new ordinance would hold that short-term rental transactions must be for a minimum of six nights and that only two individuals are allowed per bedroom, or 15 total guests. Short-term renters would have to apply for an annual permit.

The current ordinance takes a strong position on the six-night minimum, Jarrard said.

“Commissioners were able to advance the ball a little bit with respect to compromise,” Jarrard said. “One of the themes we heard was the current (Unified Development Code) requirements of a six-night minimum were basically deal breakers. The majority is

not doing the six-night minimum, and as a matter of law puts them out of business.”

Another issue, Jarrard said, was the amount of daytime occupants who could stay at the residence.

Right now, it states there can only be two members per bedroom, so the request was to allow two individuals per bedroom and an additional two “generic” individuals with children under the age of 12 not included in the totals.

“Once they got past the minimum of having to stay six nights, people were generally flexible as to the number,” Jarrard said. “They were looking for a little bit of grace with the number respective to a bedroom. The thing driving the entire debate was the sixnight minimum. It was such that if we don’t give on that issue, we might as well take the whole ordinance and put it through because no one can comply with it.”

Commissioner Laura Semanson said one of the primary complaints from neighbors is the traffic and activity.

“The idea that there’s just a constant revolving door and the idea that it’s a constant flow of different people all the time,” she said. “I want to be fair and allow people some flexibility in those areas. But at a certain point when it becomes a pure commercial use, that shouldn’t be at the expense of the residential neighborhood and character of the area. We’re going to have to find that balance.”

There will be another public hearing held July 5 at the Forsyth County Administration Building, 110 East Main St., suite 210.

OPINION

ForsythHerald.com | Forsyth Herald | July 5, 2018 | 9

‘We are putting out a damn paper’ The morning after the shooting at an Annapolis newspaper, my mom asked if my own paper receives threats.

“Of course we do,” I replied. “All the time. We aren’t doing Kathleen Sturgeon our jobs well if we don’t have haters.”

Editor kathleen@appenmediagroup.com These threats we receive usually aren’t anything to lose sleep over because they’re mostly just threats against our character, validity and intelligence. So we share the email or letter around the newsroom and move on.

But every once in a while, we do receive more sinister phone calls or emails that don’t necessarily spell out how the person would like to inflict harm, but instead just blanket threats telling us to keep our mouths shut. However, those are few and far between and typically go away, at least to our knowledge.

And just like the reporters at the Capital Gazette, we continue on with our work because we know democracy dies in darkness, as The Washington Post eloquently puts it.

Our mission is a beacon of light shining

brightly on corruption, whether the reader or subject in question likes it or not.

When I heard about the shooting, it didn’t surprise me to learn that the shooter had a vendetta against the newspaper, according to the local police.

I haven’t studied history enough to be able to say “we’ve never been as harsh on the media as we are now,” because I am sure there are times in our past where journalists were treated worse than being bombarded by tweets with poor grammar.

But that doesn’t downplay the consistent anti-media rhetoric we hear continually. I’m a bit more sensitive to it, of course due to my profession, but also because I am a strong proponent of the First Amendment.

I won’t blame any specific politician, because we do have a right to our beliefs and opinions, whether I agree with them or not.

It’s easy to point the finger at one political party or the other and their leaders, and then argue with your friends and family members because you can’t seem to agree to disagree.

Collectively, we need to realize what we spout may plant a seed in someone’s mind to think the right thing to do is kill four innocent reporters and a sales as-

sistant, simply for doing their jobs.

Although I’ve never met them, I can bet those five loved the smell of fresh newsprint and lived for the high of getting a scoop out before their competitor, just like I do.

We need to remember those five individuals but also their colleagues.

They care so much about our industry and getting the facts out to their beloved community, that they printed a newspaper the next day.

One beacon of light in the tragedy that unfolded was a reporter with the Capital Gazette who tweeted, “I can tell you this: We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow.”

And on the opinion page of the next day’s paper, it said “tomorrow this page will return to its steady purpose of offering our readers informed opinion about the world around them, that they might be better citizens.” The opinion page was left chillingly blank aside from 56 words including the reporters’ names.

You don’t go to work every day thinking you may never leave, but for Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiassen, John McNama-

Dyslexia Forsyth holds sessions to educate teachers

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A group of teachers took time out of their summer breaks to learn how to better help students diagnosed with dyslexia.

Dyslexia Forsyth, a local nonprofit that supports families and educators with students who struggle with reading, writing and spelling, says one in five people are dyslexic.

This summer, the group sponsored three weeklong sessions for 30 teachers in the county to be taught during a summer Orton Gillingham teacher training program.

More than 100 teachers applied for the training, but only a select few were chosen. Colleen Beguiristain, with Dyslexia Forsyth, organized the training.

The Orton Gillingham training educates teachers on the foundations of reading so they can help all readers, including those who struggle, become strong readers, according to Dyslexia Forsyth President Tina McGinley.

In 2013, a group of parents and local professionals came together when they realized there was a need for more resources in the community for families and educators to learn more about dyslexia.

Kathleen Sturgeon/Hreald

Elizabeth Estrada, a first grade teacher at Haw Creek Elementary School, says the Dyslexia Forsyth program was engaging and will be useful for all her students.

“It’s so prevalent,” she said. “We started doing outreach events and were able to connect with a lot of parents and families. We wanted to connect with the

teachers, as well. There is training that happens in Atlanta, but we wanted the training in Forsyth County so the teachers wouldn’t have to travel. This way, we are able to reach the teachers and educate them.”

McGinley’s son, a rising junior at South Forsyth High School, who is dyslexic. He went to the Swift School in elementary school because it specializes in teaching dyslexic kids.

“I saw the impact it had on him and what a huge difference it made,” she said. “It changed our whole family dynamic. I thought it was great, but it should be available to all kids.”

He came back to Forsyth County Schools, and that’s when McGinley said the group came together to try to address the situation.

“It makes such a big difference in these kids’ lives and the trajectory of their lives,” McGinley said. “If they can learn to read well and comprehend, it puts them on a better path.”

One of McGinley’s children’s teachers, Elizabeth Estrada, participated in the training session the week of June 25.

Estrada currently teaches first grade at Haw Creek Elementary School and has been teaching for 30 years. She said the training will help in the coming year when she plans to adopt special education inclusion.

“I love teaching reading and I’ve been exposed to so many phonics programs, that I was intrigued to see this whole process,” Estrada said. “The Orton Gillingham program has been around for a long time, and I’ve heard great things from different teachers who’ve come to the training.”

The lessons she learned during the weeklong training will benefit not just

her dyslexic students, she said, but those who struggle with reading.

“There is a lot of movement and engaging,” Estrada said. “In different programs, you may lose some of the kids in the back of the room. We’re very excited to bring it back to our school and implement it. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this excited about a program.”

Natalie Felix, a fellow in training with the Academy of Orton Gillingham Practitioners and Educators, serves as the teacher this summer for the Forsyth County educators.

“Our public schools are filled with amazing teachers who really want to do what’s best for their students,” said Felix, who also works at the Swift School.

“They have so many constraints on them that make it so difficult. When you talk about the Orton Gillingham approach, it’s not a book or curriculum. Being able to give the public school teachers some tools can be very empowering to them to use it to teach.”

Felix instructs teachers in phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary and reading comprehension.

Many of the teachers participating teach first and second grade where dyslexia can be identified early on, Felix said.

“We give them the understanding of what might possibly be going on which equips them,” she said. “We pull it all together and figure out how to blend it into a public school setting. The students come to the table with skills but they’re missing pieces. I’m able to give the teachers tools to assess and figure out those holes, and then be able to go back and try to patch them.”

North Point revitalization receives regional assistance

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Plans to revitalize Alpharetta’s North Point Retail District will get some help, thanks to an offer from the Atlanta Regional Commission to provide critical planning services designed to improve the area’s long-term viability.

The Atlanta Regional Commission will partner with the city to develop guidelines for creation of public spaces and the installation of public art in the area around North Point Mall.

The project was one of 13 selected for support through the Atlanta Regional Commission’s new Community Development Assistance Program. The program will bring Atlanta Regional Commission staff and groups like the Urban Land

Institute, Georgia Power and Georgia Tech into partnership with the local community.

“We were greatly impressed with the diversity of projects submitted,” said Mike Alexander, Director of Atlanta Regional Commission’s Center for Livable Communities. “Collaborating with local communities is a key way ARC is helping move the region forward.”

The partnership comes just months after city leaders signed off on a Livable Centers Initiative for the North Point Area. The initiative was developed over a six-month period that began in September 2017. That effort engaged those who live, work and frequent Alpharetta to achieve a future vision for the district that reflects what those most likely to spend time there truly want.

Eric Bosman, designer and planner with Kimley-Horn consultants, told the City Council in January that surveys of residents and patrons suggest creating an environment that includes future investments in parks, sidewalks and infrastructure to make the North Point area more lively. These investments could include public art, more greenspace, or anything to add to the experience, Bosman said.

Four key ideas surfaced: • Create a “park once and walk everywhere” environment for people to enjoy a network of green spaces programmed with events and public art.

• Create multi-modal connections parallel to North Point Parkway closer to existing retail centers.

• Encourage redevelopment of large areas of surface parking to support

a grid of new streets lined by streetfronting buildings.

• Improve the area’s retail balance to offer a mix of destinations and quality retailers to draw day and night visitors.

With the news of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s initiative, city officials say they can move forward with revitalizing North Point.

“We are very excited to continue to engage Alpharetta’s citizens to advance the vision they created through the North Point LCI process,” said Kathi Cook, Alpharetta’s director of Community Development. “The assistance we will be getting from the ARC brings to bear resources that would typically cost local tax payers thousands of dollars that can now be allocated to other needs.”

Forsyth Chamber: Economic development on the rise in county

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce says economic development in the county is doing pretty well.

Speaking before the Forsyth County Commission June 28, Chamber President James McCoy said there was a 40 percent increase in new jobs in the county from 2016 to 2017. This year, there has already been 21 new project announcements, $79.7 million in new capital investment, 607 new jobs added, project inquiries are up 96 percent and project announcements are up 62 percent from this time in 2017, he said..

He said capital investment is down slightly by 12 percent from this time last year. However it is 13 percent higher for all of 2017 over 2016.

McCoy said the purpose of giving a presentation to the Forsyth County Commission is to provide accountability.

“The Chamber is an outsource vendor for economic development for Forsyth County,” he said. “There was a discussion last February about getting focused around revising how we do economic development and being more aggressive about that.”

Additionally, McCoy said the board established a definition of a Proactive Development Authority role, and reestablished the Economic Development Stakeholder Group charged with developing an interim plan, recommendations on creating a new five-year plan and on the economic development tool box.

“The purpose of all of that is so that we have a tax digest that we consider to be in balance and sustainable and one that requires greater growth of the commercial portion of the tax digest,” McCoy said. “That way homeowners will not continue to maintain as heavy of a burden as they have. The overall goal is to reduce that tax burden on homeowners and achieving an overall strong investment in the economic development program.”

The growth vision for economic development employment projected six announcements of new businesses coming to the county in 2017, but in actuality there were 55 that said they were coming to Forsyth.

That’s a 40 percent increase in new jobs announced in Forsyth County from 2016 to 2017, McCoy said.

Then from June 2017 to May 2018, there were almost 80 project announcements and nearly 1,300 jobs. Additionally, there was $159 million in new capital

It is very difficult to find anywhere in the state in any department of economic development that is seeing anywhere close to this [growth].”

James McCoy Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce President investment, which saved homeowners $1.8 million in taxes.

“It is very difficult to find anywhere in the state in any department of economic development that is seeing anywhere close to this,” McCoy said. “You’d be seeing maybe 4 or 5 or as much as 10 percent, but what this communicates is

the plan is working and it’s working well.

We’re excited about the outcome of that.”

McCoy said original projections called on the commercial portion of the tax base to increase by $910,000, but it was closer to $1.8 million. The decrease in homeowners’ tax obligation was projected to be at .25 percent, but it was much closer to half a percent.

“A lot of that is truly dependent on what they actually build,” McCoy said. “In reality, what we’ve found historically is that what they actually build has a slightly larger impact on the tax digest than what is initially thought. There are lots of reasons for that, but I say that to say this number might be a little (under).”

In total, the return on the investment for the county in the projects for the one year is 338 percent when considering the total amount invested in operations for economic development by the county, he said. McCoy expects that to be closer to 900 percent by the end of a sevenyear period because of the cumulative nature of those businesses that stay and continue to pay taxes.

Of the project announcements so far in 2018, the majority are retail, followed by service/office and technology and manufacturing comprising large chunks as well.

Summer is here — and for many of us, that means that it is home improvement season!

If you are looking for creative ways to spruce up your Atlanta home this year, here are a few of the most popular renovation trends we are seeing.

Rawlings

1. Reclaimed furniture (especially custom vanities) Over the past few years, reclaimed wood and metal have become fashionable materials for creating unique items like dining room tables, coffee tables and workstations. Lately, the idea has taken a natural next step toward using one piece of furniture for a different purpose.

Highly popular this year, for example,

are converted vanities — finding old chests of drawers, cabinets, consoles, etc. and converting them into unique, rustic bathroom vanities. Not only does this process add texture to your home and create a conversation piece, but repurposing furniture also helps the environment.

2. “Working wall” in the kitchen As more of us look to free up space or “minimize,” the trend is toward making the most use of existing space.

One-way homeowners are doing this is to dispense with excessive cabinetry throughout the kitchen (often placed out of reach) and create a single “working wall” where all the items are stored, giving the rest of the kitchen a clean, open and uncluttered feel.

3. Matte appliance finishes Stainless steel is still a design standard, as are counter-depth fridges and “hidden” appliances with facades that blend into the décor. But forward-

This is why you need to get your next mattress online (NAPSI)—If you’re one of the 35 million Americans moving this year—and even if you’re not—consider replacing your old mattress with an easy direct-to-consumer online brand. Here’s why: 1. Price—After all the costs of hiring professionals to wrap and ship your mattress, you may already be looking at more than it would cost to buy a new one. Also, it’s worth taking into account that the Better Sleep Council recommends replacing your mattress every seven to 10 years, so if your mattress falls into that category, it’s time for an upgrade anyway.

2. Sleep Trials—Trying out dozens of mattresses instore for a few seconds at a time isn’t a good indication of how you’re going to actually like sleeping on it day in and day out. The only way to truly tell if it’s the right fit for you is to be able to sleep on it at your home for an extended time. No brick-and-mortar mattress brand offers that type of superextend sleep trial. However, Nectar Sleep, an online mattress brand, offers a 365-Night Trial that lets you actually try out the mattress in the comfort of your own home to be totally sure it’s the right fit for you. For added convenience, the company also offers free returns and pickup.

3. Hidden Delivery Fees—The price tag you see in stores may not take into account shipping and handling, which is a cost you need to pay and can add a considerable amount to the final bill. When buying a mattress from most online companies, the price you see is the price you pay, which includes shipping.

4. High Quality—The technology of today means you can have a high-quality product without going store to store to compare. Brands such as DreamCloud

specialize in luxury quality mattresses at what most would consider an affordable price, available exclusively with easy online ordering. Combining patentpending coil technology with hand-tufting across eight handcrafted layers of latex, memory foam and cooling gel, along with a cashmere-blend top, a DreamCloud

mattress features just about everything you’d want with a price tag considerably less expensive than its competitors.

Home Remodeling:

What’s hot and what’s not Why it works for some and not others Hooray! You made your last tuition payment or maybe paid for the last wedding. And now it’s you and your spouse in a great big house. So it’s time to set in motion your grand plan, which goes something like this… 1. Sell the big house and move to a smaller house that’s easier to maintain, 2. Pocket the $100k or more from this transaction, 3. Take an extended European vacation this summer with some of the proceeds from the sale of the house.

The Unwelcomed Cold Shower.

As it turns out the grand plan may not happen just like you planned. You learn this when you call your favorite realtor and spend a day with them. It’s at this time that you realize that a new, smaller house costs more than you ever could have imaged. It’s at this moment that you truly feel the impact of new home prices rising faster than older home prices.

The Punch to The Gut. Just as your realtor has done their best to explain the prices of smaller homes, it’s time to assess the listing price of your present home. Because you sent your kids to private schools, the very best colleges, bought cars for them and paid for weddings…..well, you never quite kept up with the whole remodeling thing. Your house was built in the 80’s or 90’s and it looks like the day it was built. Formica or Corian in the kitchen, a garbage compactor and desk in the kitchen. In the bathroom: gold framed small shower, cultured marble counters and huge mirrors glued to the walls. Every home in North Atlanta has the same finishes and they’re all “out of style” which makes your home NOT “Move in Ready” to the prospective buyer. So your realtor suggests a listing price far below your expectations. Don’t shoot your realtor

they’re pretty familiar with this situation.

Is it all Bad News? “No, for those homeowners who have remodeled their Kitchens and Bathrooms, they are getting top dollar when selling their homes” says John Hogan, owner of Roswell’s Remodeling Expo Center, “families are fleeing the City of Atlanta and paying top dollar for move-in ready homes in North Atlanta. It’s all about the schools.

Remodeling Expo Center has been assisting homeowners for 16 years with exactly this issue.

The Rule of 1.5. When a prospective buyer assesses the value of your home they will apply the Rule of 1.5 to any room that requires remodeling, that is if they don’t just pass on your home. For example, if they believe a new kitchen will be $40k, they will discount your home by $40k times 1.5 or $60K. Same goes with the master bathroom. So you can see how brutal the Rule of 1.5 can be for the homeowner. This really hits home when offers come in very low or the realtor suggests successive listing price drops.

So what’s the answer? First and foremost, don’t postpone remodeling to when you’re about to sell, because you won’t get to live and enjoy it. Secondly, remodel the rooms that will show the strongest return on your investment and thirdly, do it in a style that most people would enjoy.

Remodeling Expo Center has been partnering with homeowners and realtors for decades to make “the home” not only functional, but a performing investment vehicle. “That house sold in 24 hours and for over the asking price”.

This isn’t neighborhood folklore; it really happens. Homeowners who have the attitude of “I’ll let the next owner remodel” are doing themselves a great disservice.

To learn more contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075.

4. Shedquarters As home-based businesses continue to thrive — and as more people these days are telecommuting — the new trend in outbuildings is the “shedquarters” movement. This involves building or reclaiming a small exterior structure

Local students receive scholarship FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two young Forsyth County women received a $1,000 scholarship on June 5 from Cumming Chapter 1030 of the Vietnam Veterans of America.

The organization’s third annual awards went to Natalie Morris of South Forsyth High School and Kate Owens of Lambert High School.

Morris will study special education at the University of Georgia. Owens plans to study engineering at James Madison University.

A committee of the Cumming Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America selected Morris and Owens based upon their record of scholastic achievement and school and community involvement.

Each applicant was required to write an essay on the topic “Why Freedom Isn’t Free.”

This year’s scholarships are being given in memory of two area men who were killed-in-action in Vietnam. Owens’ Scholarship was awarded in the name of Army Private first class Charles George Boling of Canton, killed-in-action in Tay Ninh, South Vietnam on May 8, 1969.

Morris’ scholarship was awarded in the name of Army Private first class Jerry Robert Cook of Alpharetta. He was killed-in-action in Phuoc Long, South Vietnam on June 17, 1967.

Cook’s brother Carlous Cook, who now lives in Adairsville, presented the award to Morris in a special presentation.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
