Possible amenities include gyms, community rooms and fitness areas, officials said. Cherokee Veterans Park opened about a year ago at 7345 Cumming Highway (Ga. 20) near Canton.
The county plans to dedicate a veterans memorial at the park on Veterans Day in november, Cherokee Board Chairman L.B. Ahrens said at a recent Board of Commissioners meeting.
Those wishing to purchase commemorative bricks, offered at prices of $75 to $125 apiece, should do so by Aug. 31 if they wish the bricks to be engraved and ready by the dedication, Ahrens said. Information: https://bit.ly/2JvSI6L
