Cherokee County celebrates opening of Woodworth Park

CHEROKEE COUNTY — Cherokee County and Cherokee Recreation and Parks leaders celebrated the completion of the first phase of the new Woodworth Park in southwest Cherokee Tuesday with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The first phase of Woodworth Park includes the entrance, parking area, playground, green space and lawn area and walking trails. "To see what this looks like today is nothing short of miraculous. It looks really good and we are excited to open this to the community," Cherokee Recreation and Parks Director Jay Worley said. "I think this will be one of those parks that is a destination place to travel, whether that's for the open space, future athletic fields or future recreation center. This is going to be a park that makes a difference for this community. Outside of Patriots Park, this is the first public park that we have built in this portion of the county." The county broke ground on the 56-acre Woodworth Park in February. Located at 2700 Old Highway 92 near Acworth, it sits adjacent to the Vestavia Estates and Salem Woods subdivisions. The name combines the cities of Acworth and Woodstock together, given the park's close proximity to both communities. Additional amenities are

Cobb advances Mavis Tire shop on Canton Road

By unanimous vote, the Cobb Planning Commission approved an eight-bay Mavis Tire shop at 3595 Canton Road on the southeast corner of the New Chastain Corners shopping center. The 0.92 acre lot is the former site of a Bank of America, which shut down “some time ago” and has not been replaced since, according to Kevin Moore, an attorney representing the applicant. Mavis is proposing to demolish the existing building and build a 6,925-square-foot auto shop. The shop would perform light automotive work such as changing tires, brake changes, oil changes and battery checks, among other things, according to the company website. According to its application, Mavis’ proposed business hours would be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday (except for closing at 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays), 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. Moore said Mavis is proposing a solution to a site that “doesn’t need to remain a dark, vacant building. “(Mavis does) a great job at what they do and do it in a clean fashion and certainly understand the rules and regulations … that Cobb County has,” Moore said. “That’s the worst thing to have (in) your neighborhood
