More than 30,000 new residents will call Coweta County home in the next 10 years, according to latest data provided by the Newnan-Coweta County Chamber of Commerce. That population growth is in addition to the 140,000 residents who live in the county now.

COWETA TO EXPERIENCE POPULATION ‘EXPLOSION’ WITHIN NEXT 10 YEARS BY MELANIE RUBERTI
melanie@newnan.com More than 30,000 new residents will call Coweta County home in the next 10 years, according to latest data provided by the Newnan-Coweta County Chamber of Commerce. That population growth is in addition to the 140,000 residents who live in the county now. Wit h g row t h comes change - and portions of Coweta County are a l re ady ex per ienc i n g increased construction and plans for restructuring to accommodate the influx of people. The population surge
w i ll eventua lly a ffect all areas of the county, from ma nufacturing a nd bu si ne ss to education and healthcare, traffic, real estate, tourism and the cultural arts communities. O ne of t he bi g ge s t cha nges in Coweta County will occur later in 2018 when the entrance and exit ramps at Interstate 85 and Poplar Road open up. This will bring more traffic, people and business to the southern end of the county. “The mixed-use development at Lower Fayetteville and Newnan Cross-
ing Boulevard appears to be a huge project , along with all the Poplar Road development with medical, retail, and housing sprouting up at the new interchange,” sa id Joh n Ha ll, President of the United Bank, Newnan Division. “This is an exciting time to be in Coweta county and be in business.” The Coweta County Development Authority is busy with several manufacturing projects and a distribution project that could possibly bring more than 1,000 jobs to Coweta. But the county won’t be the only area to expe-
rience growth, so will the cities of Newnan and Senoia.
Senoia
Suzanne Helfman is the chairman of the Senoia Downtown Development Authority. She said two large residentia l developments h ave been approved recently, and those new residents will need services. Com mercia l g row t h is also continuing along H w y. 1 6 , a s w e l l a s downtown.

It i s a n i n e -m o n t h journey from concept to production and merchandising, Rubertino said. I n add it ion to t he oppor t u n it y to showcase her clothing in the s to r e , Ve r o n i c a w o n a ca sh pr i ze a nd wa s partnered with a manufacturer to help bring her clothing to life. It’s a far cry from her tiny Sharpsburg studio - formerly her parent’s garage. They enclosed and renovated the s t r u c t u r e s o Ve r o n i c a c o u ld fol low h e r dream of being a fashion designer. T he cozy room is f illed with colorful sketches of future de si g n s , a nd m a n ne qui ns wea ri ng si l k , frilly dresses and tops awaiting the f inal touches from Veronica. A sewing machine sits in one corner, covered wit h fabrics a nd trims. Ve r o n i c a ’ s a m b i t iou s goa l of be coming a fashion designer sta rted when she was just 14 yea rs old , she said. T h at wa s t he s a me year she designed and made her own dress. “ I m ade it w it h out a pat ter n . I just k i nd of c ut t he fabr ic a nd sewed it a lto get her,” she remembered with a smile on her face. She drew inspiration from Alexander Wang and Maria Cornejo. Ve r o n i c a a t t e n d e d the Sava n na h College of A rt and Design, SCA D, in Atlanta.
A fter g raduation , she i m mediately moved to New York City and interned for one of her favorite desig ners Maria Cornejo. “ I lea r ned ever ything I could. She was s o a m a z i n g ,” Ve r o n ica said. “She took me under her wing, but pushed me to make my own brand and follow my dream.” It was Corenjo who gave Veronica courage to enter t he Sout hern Designer Showcase. The Sharpsburg woma n moved back home a nd bega n to work on her collection. “I look at fabrics, trims, sta rt sketching patterns … then I’ll do fittings and see how it looks in person. It’s a long process,” she said. Veronica’s talent and determination paid off months later when she took home top prize. T h e “ Ve r o n i c a R a m i rez” spr i ng collection debuted on March 22 during a fashion show at t he B el k store in Kennesaw. Veron ica descr ibed her clot h i ng li ne as “fashion forward” and said her favorite piece i s a bl a c k a n d i vo r y ruff led dress. “ It ’s ver y moder n ,” she sa id. “I thought a lot a b out f it a nd t he clothing being f lattering to every woman … I’m conscious of wome n ’s f i g u r e s a n d m y sizes are more true to size than other designers. But the clothing is ‘fashion forward’ at the same time.” Unfortunately, Veron ic a’s col lec t ion will only be sold at the Belk store in Kennesaw, G a . B ut t he c lot h i n g
line will launch online nex t week , sa id her publicist. W h i le Veron ica has on ly ju st e st abl i shed her bra nd a nd logo, s h e ’s a l r e a d y t h i n ki ng a head of ways to ex pa nd her clot h i ng line in the future.

Though lack of parking continues to be a problem , t he c it y i s working on solutions, Helfman said. “We always say it’s a good problem to have.

BY REBECCA LEFTWICH
becky@newnan.com After a series of successful community meetings to share information about ESPLOST spending a nd to solicit i nput a b out h ow to h a nd le school growth, Coweta schools a re turn ing their focus to safety. T he Coweta County Boa rd of Education voted at its Ma rch meeting to permanently increase law enforcement presence at its elementary s c ho ol s by add i n g 14 n e w s c h o ol re s o u rc e of f icer s a nd super v isors to t he 21 a lready employed by the school s y s tem . T h e m ove i s desig ned speci f ic a l ly to en su re t he a ssig nment of a full-time SRO to each of t he school s y s t e m ’s e l e m e n t a r y schools. T he vote was not specif ically a result of t he Feb. 14 at t ac k on a Pa rk la nd, Fla ., h ig h school wh ich left 17 students a nd teachers dead, nor of the week t h a t fo l l owe d – d u r i ng wh ich a rash of unrelated incidents and threats at Coweta schools resulted in four arrests, including that of a 1 7-ye a r- old E a s t C owe t a H i g h S c h o o l student who was caught carrying a loaded 9mm gun. Instead, Superintendent Steve B a rker said, it is a precaution – one that is an urgent priority. “ T h i s i s i n l ig ht of not only recent events but in light of where we a re in terms of sa fety and security as a community, a nation and a school system,” Barker said. Constr uction of a new m idd le school i s on t he hor i zon a nd a boundary shift recently was approved to relieve chronic overcrowding and the resulting infrastr ucture problems at Newnan Crossing Elementary School, partly f ueled by com mu n it y input. But parents, guardians, and alarmed citizens also have ex pre s s e d t h ei r c on cer n about t he sa fet y of the students and faculty members who popu late Cowet a school s each day. In response, the school system publicly released a safety status update that outlined many of the ongoing projects a nd pa rtnerships in place long before the latest wave of school v iolence – including detailed emergency plans based on Georgia Emergency
Ma nagement Agency/ Homeland Security recommendations, which Coweta schools have operated with for more than 20 years. The emergency pla ns cover protocol for school and law en forcement com mun i c a t i on ; of f- c a m p u s evacuation; and family re u n i f ic at ion , a mon g ot her s cen a r io s . T he deta i ls a re not publ icized for security reasons, also per GEM A / Homeland Security recommendations. A district-wide safety committee meets regula rly to assess sa fetyrelated issues and i ncludes representat ives from t he school system as well as t he Coweta Count y S h e r i f f ’s O f f i c e , t h e Newnan Police Department, Coweta Cou nt y Fi re Resc ue , New n a n Fire Department, Coweta County Emergency Management and the U.S. Secret Service. Local and state EMA / Homel a nd S e c u r it y representat ives frequently provide g uidance by providing genera l updates , v i sit i ng schools a nd prov iding answers to specific questions, school off ic i a l s s a y, a n d d i r e c t lines of communication have been in place for m a ny ye a r s b e t we e n the superintendent, S h e r i f f M i k e Ye a g e r a nd New na n Police Chief Douglas “Buster” Meadows. Threat assessment tea ms – which investigate a ny da nger or perceived da nger to schools – consist of representat ives from t he school system, sheriff ’s office and Newnan police. Schools conduct l ive emergenc y d r i l ls a s wel l a s “ tabletop drills,” which are meetings to discuss a simu lated emergency situ at ion a nd how t hei r crisis teams would react in different scenarios. The central office staff has a protocol in place for assisting schools in the case of an emergency, which includes designated first responders as well as communication, stand-by and counseling teams. SWAT teams frequent ly use school bu i ld i ngs for t ra i ning and practice drills when students are not present, fa m ilia rizing them with the layouts. More than $2 million in ESPLOST funds has been sun k into outf itting all Coweta County School System ca mpuses with surveillance cameras. Each school’s
front desk is equipped w it h m on itor s s howing several views of the school , i nclud i ng t he entrance. System-level monitoring is available, a nd l aw en forcement w i l l s o o n b e a bl e to view surveillance footage in real time. ESPLOST a lso has funded the remodeling of elementary and middle school entrances as secure vestibule areas, reducing access points during the school day. Vestibules direct visitors to t he clerk , who can check IDs and provide access, if needed. Work will continue on those safety upgrades.

The Cancer Treatment Centers of America also planted trees outside and held a dove release in honor of the many survivors. "Celebrate Life is a

A luncheon was held for survivors following the ceremony. The event ended with the East Coweta High School Marching Band playing the song “Happy” for the survivors and their families. According to CTCA, more than 300 survivors from 17 different states participated in the Celebrate Life event.

Adoptable dogs are in danger of being euthanized if not adopted or rescued soon. Newnan-Coweta Humane Society (NCHS) has receiving rescues for a number of these discarded innocent souls. Unfortunately, most are heartworm positive and must undergo treatment before going on transport. This would mean at least a 6 week commitment and possibly slightly longer to make sure the dog is ready for transport.
If you are able to open your heart and home to care for a rescue dog undergoing heartworm treatment, please contact Gail asap.
