The city of Woodstock has selected different companies to renovate its downtown playground. On Monday, the Woodstock City Council unanimously voted to repeal a $438,961 agreement between the city and Great Southern Recreation for renovations to Woodstock's Downtown Playground. The agreement, approved in July, was for the second phase of playground revovations, including the addition of a Moku-Yama 11.1 Play Structure , drainage work, landscaping and installing 2,500 square feet of artificial turf. According to city documents, city staff started getting quotes from different contractors after there were problems with the company’s work on the Little River Park playground, and after they learned the company purchased playground equipment without a signed agreement to do so. “On August 18, 2026, the City prepared Purchase Order 27-013510 for $438,961.00 to Great Southern Recreation and issued the document to the Parks and Recreation Department.

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so
