Cherokee County residents have another opportunity to provide input for “Keep Cherokee Beautiful,” a community-driven cleanup initiative.

A second public interest meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, in the Hickory Flat Fire Station Community Room, 7676 Vaughn Road, Canton. Participants will collaborate on ideas with key stakeholders.

“We received lots of feedback and interest from the community at our first meeting in June,” said Cherokee County District 3 Commissioner Benny Carter. The county, he said, seeks information that “will help us narrow down some of the issues and develop a community-driven and county-wide plan to keep Cherokee clean, green and beautiful.”

Social distancing will be practiced. To help the county plan arrangements, participants are asked to email Recycling Center Manager Troy Brazie at tdbrazie@cherokeega.com to reserve a spot. Information: https://bit.ly/3lPdRY8
