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

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. McDaniel then asked Johnson what would be the effect if the Board did not approve this proposed plan. “If

Local seed company marks major milestone this month

Local agricultural supply business, Adams-Briscoe Seed Company, celebrated its 80th anniversary and three generations of Adams family ownership on Nov. 6. The company’s story began in 1946, when Rufus Adams and Everett Briscoe bought a seed business in Jackson from the Carmichael brothers. With backgrounds in agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they built a business grounded in knowledge, experience and a commitment to helping customers find the right products for their farms, homes and land. The family business expanded in 1953 when Rufus Adams encouraged his brother, J.B. Adams, to open a second location in Forsyth. J.B. and his wife, Emmie, operated the store together until his death in 1967. Emmie continued running the store until 2003. That same year, ownership of the Jackson business passed to Rufus’ nephew, Jimmy Adams. He and his son Greg Adams continue to lead the company today. The business thanks everyone who has been a part of their journey. “We’re proud of our roots, grateful for the generations of customers who have trusted us and ready for whatever grows next,” said Jimmy Adams.
