Buford Lands 300-Unit Luxury Complex as Atlanta Apartment Construction Slows

Source: Metropolitan Transportation Authority of the State of New York / Wikimedia Commons. A 10-acre site at the northeast corner of Buford Drive and Laurel Crossing Parkway in Buford is now home to Autry at Tulip Grove, a 300-unit luxury apartment community that developer Thompson Thrift says it expects to welcome its first residents to in January 2027. The project is moving forward at a moment when apartment builders across metro Atlanta are doing the opposite, pulling back sharply as elevated vacancy and higher capital costs make new projects harder to pencil out.

Two Gwinnett school board members speak out on retention bonuses

Two Gwinnett County school board members are, in their individual capacities, addressing teachers concerns on the retention bonuses that educators found out they would not receive this week. Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan and Board member Rachel Stone reiterated Gwinnett County Public Schools’ stance that the bonuses were always contingent on whether the district received funding from the state to pay the teachers. They were quick to point out they were not speaking on behalf of the entire board, however. “Right now, social media is full of anger, rumors, and half-truths,” Johnson-Morgan said. “Some of it comes from real pain. Some of it is meant to divide us: teachers against leaders, and neighbors against public schools.” GCPS officials told teachers on Monday that they would not receive retention bonuses this year because there was no funding to pay for it. The announcement quickly took off on social media after district officials accidentally sent it to parents as well as educators. District officials told the Daily Post that the message, which was signed by Chief Financial Officer Masana Mailliard and Interim Chief Human Resources J.W. Mozley, stands as the district’s official statement on the retention bonus issue. “The supplement was contingent on

Water releases planned as drought conditions continue in metro Atlanta

Colder temperatures are here in Georgia, and while many might welcome the change from steamy summer days to chilly winter mornings, what the Southeast really needs is rain. The state of Georgia has been under drought conditions this year, despite some smaller periods of heavy rainfall, and it has caused the water levels in the state's reservoirs to drop significantly. Atlanta has received 35.3 inches of rain so far this year, down significantly from the 30-year average, according to the National Weather Service. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division declared a statewide drought response level 1 in April, meaning utilities were required to warn residents about the impacts of drought and ways to mitigate them. Now, state officials are taking the next step to keep Atlanta's water system moving. Army Corps to limit reservoir releases The Army Corps of Engineers manages and operates Buford Dam , the dam at the southern end of Lake Lanier, a massive reservoir about an hour north of Atlanta. The Dam and lake are fed by the Chattahoochee River, and the river continues to flow on the south side of the dam all the way down to Florida. When water levels are low in the reservoir,

Cobb school board turns to out-of-county students to avoid closures

MARIETTA — Under threat of school closures, the Cobb Board of Education gave the greenlight to out-of-district admissions Thursday. The board approved the policy in a vote of 4-2-1, with Democrats Becky Sayler and Tre Hutchins voting no and Nichelle Davis abstaining. District staff first announced the “Choose Cobb” program Nov. 4. Under the program, Georgia families living outside Cobb County can send their children to participating county schools for a $600 tuition fee per student each semester. District leaders have said the program was created to boost declining school enrollment numbers in Cobb that reflect a larger phenomenon both statewide and nationally. John Floresta, the district’s chief strategy & accountability officer, said Fulton County and Atlanta have recently made plans to close some of their public schools, and Cobb must take appropriate measures to avoid a similar situation. “If we do not do something about the current state of enrollment, the only other choice will be to close schools,” Floresta said. “I don’t know how else to say that bluntly. That is just a fact of where we are.” The board changed its school admissions policy, which previously only allowed out-of-district enrollment in its virtual school program. Superintendent Chris
