STORY 1:   Holly Springs Seeking Construction Manager at Risk for Amphitheater 

Holly Springs was seeking construction managers for its Town Center Amphitheatre project, with qualifications due by this morning. The amphitheater will feature a stage, green room, dressing room, and public restrooms. Construction is set to begin this spring. Part of the larger Holly Springs Town Center development, the project includes restaurants, retail, housing, a market plaza, and the new City Hall. The parking deck is complete, and townhomes are for sale, with luxury loft apartments coming soon. For updates, visit hollyspringstowncenter.com or follow their social media. 

STORY 2:  Creekview Student Wins $500 Scholarship in Wiring Contest 

Aaron Dickson of Creekview High School won first place in the Area Wiring Contest hosted by Amicalola EMC in Jasper, earning a $500 scholarship. Karson Wham of Central High School placed second, receiving a $300 scholarship. Sponsored by FFA and Amicalola EMC, the event helps students build skills in electrical wiring, critical thinking, and communication. Both winners will advance to the state finals, competing against other top students from across Georgia for additional scholarships and awards. 

STORY 3:  Here's What's in the Cherokee Greenways and Trails Master Plan 

Cherokee County has adopted a 30-year Greenways and Trails Master Plan to guide future trail development. Approved by the Board of Commissioners, the plan outlines 491 miles of proposed trails, including greenways, side paths, blueways, and mountain bike trails. It features 95 potential projects categorized into short-term, mid-term, long-term, and aspirational phases, with costs ranging from $100-168 million for a base scenario to $248-401 million for an enhanced scenario. Public input shaped the plan, which aims to prioritize trail connections, secure funding, and collaborate with cities and counties. Projects will be approved individually, with regular updates expected over time.
