Havencroft in Woodstock Nears Closeout
Less than three years after its first homes debuted in Cherokee County, opportunities to call David Weekley Homes’ luxury community of Havencroft “home” are nearing an end. While several of the 13 remaining homes are move-in ready, a handful will be completed between October and January 2027. Ranging in price from the High-$600,000s to over $1 Millions and in size from 2,994 square feet to 3,532 square feet, the final expertly crafted homes in Havencroft boast professionally curated design packages, high-end finishes, nine-foot ceilings, entertainment-friendly open concepts, an abundance of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and a tranquil collection of bedrooms and bathrooms. The community itself holds broad appeal between its access to excellent Cherokee County Schools, including Little River Elementary, Mill Creek Middle and River Ridge High Schools, and its convenience to Downtown Woodstock – just five miles away.

Cave Spring considering 90-day moratorium on commercial property permits
Cave Spring is moving toward a 90-day moratorium on commercial property permits while city officials work to address gaps in the city’s floodplain administration program. The Cave Spring City Council approved the first reading of the proposed moratorium during its Sept. 8 meeting, which clears it for adoption Oct. 13. City Manager Stephen Walker said the proposal would apply to commercial properties citywide, not only properties located in flood zones. “There’s some training and some qualifications that have not been looked after for like the last two, three years,” Walker said. “And our switch to Bureau Veritas has left a large hole in flood administration in the city of Cave Spring.” Bureau Veritas is a third-party firm that provides building inspection and code enforcement services for Cave Spring. Walker said the city also received a report from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division that raised concerns about how Cave Spring was carrying out its responsibilities under the National Flood Insurance Program. Because much of Cave Spring lies within a flood zone, Walker said city officials want to have the proper qualifications in place before issuing additional commercial permits. “We’re taking the steps we can to make sure that all the qualifications

Rome-Floyd Planning Commission backs manufactured home request on Ford Street
The Rome-Floyd Planning Commission recommended approval Thursday for a new manufactured home on Ford Street. Planning staff had recommended against it but the citizen board decided based on the applicant’s individual circumstances rather than the precedent in place. The property at 20 Ford St. is currently zoned Multifamily Residential. The request would rezone it to Suburban Residential and allow a manufactured home through a special use permit. Planning and Zoning Director Brice Wood told commissioners that planning staff supported the rezoning but recommended denial of the special use permit for the manufactured home. Wood said the small property does not have access to public sewer and is served by a septic system, making multifamily development difficult despite its current zoning. But the surrounding neighborhood is largely made up of site-built single-family homes. There are two, possibly three, manufactured homes in the neighborhood that have been there for some time, he said. However, the manufactured homes were built when the area was unincorporated Floyd County before being annexed into the city of Rome. Staff’s concern centered on the city’s longstanding practice of generally not approving new manufactured homes inside the city limits. Wood said he was aware of only one such

Developer proposing over 200 homes in Pearidge community
Canton leaders will decide in October whether to approve an application that would bring over 200 homes to the Pearidge community.
