The Northeast Cherokee Parks Master Plans project will soon be underway. The Board of Commissioners 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. The sites include 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, a 23-acre parcel on Ball Ground Road at the Etowah River, according to a press release.
A kickoff meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 29 in a virtual platform. The meeting will be streamed on Facebook Live, but those viewing from Facebook will not be able to participate in real time. Surveys will be available on the project website.
As the master planning concludes, TSW will provide the county with conceptual design considerations, costs analysis and executive support reports from the research and public input meetings.
