Why are we using SPLOST funds for road improvements for Northside Hospital?

I really don't understand why taxpayers are fronting the cost of hospital road improvements. The hospital saw a 400% revenue increase per patient in the last 9 years in Canton. The CEO is paid almost $5M a year. Their 2019 990 filing $114M in revenue after expenses are subtracted. However we need to use taxpayer SPLOST funds to improve access to a corporation instead of road improvements for citizens?

Northside Hospital will be responsible for the design, right-of-way or easement acquisition and construction of the Intersection Improvement to be constructed to Georgia Department of Transportation, Cherokee County and City of Canton standards. Per the development agreement, Cherokee County will be responsible for funding one-third of the estimated $600,000 construction cost. The remainder will be funded by both the City of Canton and Northside Hospital - Cherokee. The estimated cost to Cherokee County is $196,176.33.

12.1Development Agreement with Northside Hospital.

Consider approval of a Development Agreement with Northside Hospital for construction of an intersection on Northside Cherokee Boulevard to serve a new secondary entrance to the hospital.  Anticipated cost to the County will be $196,176.33, or one-third of the construction cost.

Alternative path over Little River in Holly Springs/Woodstock

This is a long shot but does anyone happen to know an alternate route to get across little river on foot. I have gone across this bridge:

7040 Old Hwy 5 - Google Maps

...and it was a pretty scary experience with cars zooming past at 60 MPH 1 ft from me.

I was wondering if there may be a dirt path below or perhaps a way to cut between SCRA and the Biello Softball fields...however I suspect there isn't a way to get over the river without getting wet.

Favorite Spots in Canton?

I’ve grown up here and I’m an introvert. I had a young family and I realized I am out of touch with everything there is to do/see in Canton today. I just hit 40 and my BF has moved in with me. He’s from Vegas. We moved in together a year ago. I am finally at a point where I have the time, money, and desire to do some things. What are some spots I should check out with him?

Thanks!!

Any actual decent apartments here?

I'm looking for a 2 bedroom 2 bath for like 1800-2000 a month. But every place is the same, horrible management and apathetic towards everything. Does anyone know a decent place to rent?

Highway 92 exit from 575 southbound...

Anyone notice getting off the exit now, if you stay in the far right hand lane on the on ramp the traction is different and it veers my car over. Anyone else notice this after that roadwork? It'd honestly pretty bad it grips the car like crazy I see a lot of people wobbling there.

Towns VS Cities, Confusion

What is the difference between cities and towns in Georgia? I know that legally they are equivalent to each other but geographically what's the difference? In most states towns are usually small settlements with populations under 20,000 and cities are larger settlements, but in Georgia, I notice that there are some places labeled as cities that are very very small and have populations of under 1,000 people and then I see places labeled as towns with much larger populations. So what's the difference geographically? take for example Homer GA which is a small settlement with a population of 1,000 that is chartered as a town, I'd say a "town" is fitting for the municipality because of its size and population on the other hand, we have Jacksonville GA, which has a population significantly smaller than Homer's at just 111 people but is charted as a "city". Coming from VA all small settlements are referred to as towns, villages and so fourth and larger places are referred to as cities, but in Georgia, I see extremely small places chartered as cities so I'm just confused.

From your neighbor to the east, what’s a good and still affordable neighborhood to live in Cherokee county?

I live in the Alpharetta area since 2006. I’m looking to relocate to somewhere that will provide similar amenities like good schools, great parks (enjoy disc golf and running), don’t care about shopping, and good amount of churches.

Should I just focus on Sequoyah and Creekview high school district neighborhoods?

-Home under $450k, or areas that’s undervalued or overlooked

-I don’t have kids that attend K-12 anymore so school doesn’t matter, but I know it helps maintain home values

-Remote worker don’t care about easy access to 575

-old or new homes doesn’t matter

Is this area friendly to 55+ age or is this place for younger demographic? Thanks!

Woodstock Swingers

I was told that Woodstock is known for an abundance of cops and swingers. Is this true?

I’m used to the cops but I’m unaware of a swingers community. As soon as I start seeing golf carts on the norm I will be looking for loofahs.
