Stockbridge seeks safeguards for Tranquil Trail neighbors

STOCKBRIDGE — Concerns surrounding the Tranquil Trail apartment development resurfaced Monday as Stockbridge City Council approved a list of requested changes aimed at addressing neighboring residents' complaints. Stockbridge City Council voted 4-1 to approve a list of requested changes it plans to negotiate with the project's developer. District 1 Council member LaKeisha Gantt made the motion, which was seconded by District 3 Council memer Kyle Berry. Gantt recognized the residents’ voice during the council’s discussion. “There have been numerous emails. We've had a town hall,” Gantt said. “We've had the community come out. They came out today, and they've had comment after comment and they made it very clear. They say we hear them, but we're not taking action on or that they want some type of action to take place.” The motion included six requests: — Add a fence along the rear property lines before residents move in. — Install double rows of evergreen trees at least 15-feet tall. — Shield outdoor lighting and direct it away from neighboring homes. — Limit construction to clearly defined daytime hours with enforceable penalties. — Move the dumpster to the front of the site, away from neighboring homes. — Require all future

A Georgia Man Built Himself A Stone Castle In The Middle Of Atlanta More Than A Century Ago

Cannon mouths poke out of a granite wall on a busy city street, and the man who put them there wanted roses growing from them. I love that detail more than I probably should. The builder was a wealthy inventor and farm supplier who called his retirement home Fort Peace. He designed it as half ship and half fortress.

John Knight: Build Smarter, Not Bigger

A smaller house doesn’t always make a more appealing home. In the rural markets Chisel Mill Homes serves, buyers may be willing to trade square footage for acreage, room for an RV and the freedom to make a property their own.

Henry County Schools approves new unified literacy plan

HENRY COUNTY — Henry County Schools is implementing a new literacy plan aimed at improving reading achievement across the district following the passage of Georgia's Early Literacy Act of 2026. Board of Education members unanimously approved the district’s Unified Literacy Plan at Monday’s meeting, six months after Gov. Brian Kemp signed the Act. Chief Learning and Performance Office Cleveland Johnson III presented the plan to the Board during the study session portion. “This Unified Literacy Plan provides a structured, aligned and research-based road map to increase reading achievement across our district,” Johnson said. Henry County Schools’ plan supports the district's goal of student achievement and readiness as well as its commitment to improving literacy across all grade levels. The Unified Literacy Plan includes five main points: — Early learning and readiness. — Adolescent literacy. — Screening and core instruction in grades kindergarten through third grade. — Family and community partnerships. — Teacher supports and accountability. Makenzie McDaniel, Board Vice-Chair, said he reviewed the plan. He highlighted how it features aspects implemented by the district before the legislation — intervention, MTSS-related items.
