STORY 1:   Cherokee County’s Bizarre Coffee Expanding to Roswell 

Bizarre Coffee, known for its creative coffee blends and community focus, is opening its third and largest location in Roswell at 1090 Alpharetta St. in fall 2025. The 3,500-square-foot shop will feature an expanded menu, including specialty cocktails, alongside its signature coffee and food offerings. Founded by Sabrina Kaylor in 2020, Bizarre Coffee started as a farmer’s market favorite before opening locations in Canton and Woodstock. The Roswell shop aims to be a community hub with space for gatherings and events. For more details, visit www.bizarrecoffee.com. 

STORY 2:  Woodstock Joins Support for Creating Cherokee County Land Bank 

Woodstock leaders have joined Canton, Cherokee County, and Holly Springs in supporting the creation of the Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority. On April 28, the Woodstock City Council unanimously approved a resolution expressing interest in developing a proposal for the land bank, which aims to redevelop blighted and delinquent properties. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners and other cities approved similar resolutions earlier this year. The land bank would be a public entity governed by a board of directors from participating jurisdictions, requiring collaboration between the county and at least one municipality to move forward. 

STORY 3:   Debra Shigley to Run for Georgia Senate 

Debra Shigley, a Democrat from Milton, has announced her candidacy for Georgia’s Senate District 21 seat, soon to be vacated by Sen. Brandon Beach. Shigley, a mom of five, small business owner, and former employment attorney, aims to prioritize affordability, public safety, and strong education. Backed by the Senate Democratic Caucus, she joins a race with seven Republican candidates, including Cherokee County’s Jason Dickerson, Brice Futch, and Steve West. Shigley previously ran a record-breaking campaign for Georgia House and has been active in local governance and voter advocacy. Her formal announcement is set for Thursday in Canton.
