Arbor Day Tree Planting

Hello Ball Ground –

Just a reminder that tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM will be our annual Arbor Day Tree Planting.

The planting will take place in Calvin Farmer Park on Old Dawsonville Road and we encourage you to join us if you can.

We will be providing 20 Dogwood Trees to be given away on a first come first serve basis (one per resident) at the planting, so come join us, then go back home and plant one for yourself.

Take good care Ball Ground.

Eric

Update from the City Manager

Good Morning Ball Ground –

Representatives from “SunCap”, the entity seeking to rezone property along Ball Ground Highway at Sharp Mountain Creek to Light Industrial for the placement of a possible “Distribution Warehouse Facility”, will be hosting a public information meeting at the Ball Ground Senior Center, 388 Groover Street on Wednesday, February 16th, 2022 beginning at 6:30 PM. SunCap representatives have been meeting with adjoining property owners for several weeks, and are scheduled to appear before the Cherokee County Municipal Planning Commission in March, and before the Ball Ground City Council on March 10th, 2022. This meeting is not a City meeting, but an informational meeting with the applicants, open to all residents who would like to know more about this proposal, ask questions and see the proposed roadway improvements.
