Cherokee County hosted a virtual kickoff meeting for the Northeast Cherokee Parks Master Plans project on Sept. 29, according to a press release. The Board of Commissioners heard input from residents and approved an agreement with TSW earlier this year to create the plan, which will include three different parcels in the northeast area of Cherokee County:
- A 102-acre parcel in Free Home for the future E.W. and Edith Cochran Park,
- A 538-acre parcel on Yellow Creek Road along the Etowah River and the recently named Long Swamp Creek Recreation Area, and
- A 23-acre parcel on Ball Ground Road at the Etowah River.
Participants selected a kayak/canoe launch as the top amenity they would like to see at Long Swamp Creek Recreation Area before selecting both hiking and mountain biking trails as the most desired amenity for the Yellow Creek parcel.
There will be an opportunity to attend future public input events that will include both an outdoor informational workshop and a virtual meeting in November.
