Good Morning Ball Ground –

Just a heads up that Georgia Power has scheduled some extensive transmission line maintenance in the Ball Ground area for this week (July 26, 2021).  As such we can expect to see low flying helicopters, some spraying, and some equipped with aerial saws for tree trimming.  These unusual-looking instruments generally result in a significant number of community inquiries, so just providing a heads up.  Hope you all have a great week.
