The new design incorporates a stepped profile, aiming to better align with city guidelines for the downtown historic district's building heights. The developer is also considering integrating the stair tower for the pedestrian bridge over the train tracks into the building. The project has received input from citizens and city officials, focusing on materials, massing, and scale to fit seamlessly into the historic district. The building would include one- and two-bedroom apartments, ground-level retail, courtyards, a pool, and underground parking.

The city's plans for the acquired property include redevelopment for new businesses, housing, greenspace, or parking. Public input will be sought before any decisions are made. The city has various options for financing the purchase, including cash from the general fund or issuing municipal bonds. Councilwoman Susan Wilkinson opposed the deal due to concerns about certain conditions and the price.   STORY 7: Sports Update   In high school football, Buford secured a commanding 30-3 victory over Marietta, with Dylan Raiola connecting on two touchdown passes to KJ Bolden.

Dr. Philip Vinson, an economist at Georgia Gwinnett College, believes that raising interest rates is effective in addressing inflation, even if it doesn't immediately lower prices. Instead, it aims to reduce the rate of price increases. While inflation has dropped from its peak of 9% to around 3.2%, it remains above the Fed's 2% target. Further rate hikes could risk pushing the economy into a recession, impacting business growth, employment, housing, and the stock market. The Fed's choice between hitting the inflation target and avoiding a recession will be a critical one.   Story 7: Gwinnett police looking for suspect in theft at Peachtree Corners Target   Gwinnett County police are searching for a woman accused of stealing three Epson computer printers and children's clothing from a Target store in Peachtree Corners on August 31.

In a controversial 2021 vote, the commission approved rezoning for a condo development in the accident zone despite objections from Dobbins, the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, and the county's Planning Commission. The land swap agreement approved in January 2022 was meant to resolve the issue, but the commission has now decided to terminate it. Encroachment by development remains a significant concern for the base's viability, and discussions with the developer are ongoing to find a resolution that complies with FAA guidelines. STORY 6:  Marietta school board to superintendent: 'Remove sexually explicit material from our district' The Marietta City Schools Board of Commissioners is taking action to address sexually explicit content in school media centers. They plan to issue a directive to Superintendent Grant Rivera, requesting the removal of material deemed "obscene, pornographic, not age-appropriate, and without substantive historical or academic value." The directive aims to ensure content aligns with the district's educational goals and community standards. It also calls for staff training, a review process for library books, and a system for reporting potentially explicit materials. Superintendent Rivera has outlined steps to monitor content, including policy reminders and oversight of book purchases. Both actions come after the removal of controversial books from Marietta High School's library. The board emphasizes that it is not a book ban but a measure to remove explicit and inappropriate content.   We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Disney on Ice  - Ingles 9 - JRM   STORY 7: Marietta man gets life in prison for child molestation   A Marietta man, Jason T.
