Walmart has come close to matching this advantage. Other players like Shopify have struggled to compete due to the immense costs involved in building a comparable infrastructure. FedEx, having decided to stop doing business with Amazon in 2019, has built a substantial delivery network nationally. Now, FedEx plans to offer its retailer customers access to an e-commerce platform named "fdx," leveraging its delivery capabilities and technology from the acquisition of ShopRunner in 2020. This move aims to revolutionize supply chain management and enhance FedEx's relationships with merchants. STORY 2: CCSD Students Selected for Regional Honor Band Sixty-five middle school band members from the Cherokee County School District (CCSD) have been selected for the Georgia Music Educators Association District 9 Honor Band.

CCSD Superintendent Brian Hightower commended the achievement, emphasizing the importance of performing arts in middle schools and expressing gratitude to dedicated band teachers for providing exceptional instruction and opportunities. The selected students represent various middle schools, each led by their respective band directors.   STORY 3: COED President Misti Martin Announces 'Work in Cherokee' Campaign The Cherokee Office of Economic Development (COED) is launching the Work in Cherokee campaign to boost the county's workforce, offering a $1,500 signing bonus to employees who relocate their jobs to Cherokee County after a 120-day employment period.

The secure-in-place alert was lifted at 8:18 p.m. as police continue to investigate. Contact the Cobb County Police Department with information at 770-499-4111. STORY 5: Cherokee County Student Selected for All-State Art Competition Woodstock High School junior Kate Bean has been chosen as one of 50 Georgia high school students for the All-State Art Symposium, hosted at Columbus State University.

Focusing on maintaining low taxes and high-quality services, Johnston emphasized the need to keep up with road work, prevent overwhelming growth, and address attainable housing challenges. He expressed the goal of maintaining expense growth below population growth and inflation. Johnston acknowledged the rising costs of public safety and the need for more funding for alternatives to incarceration. Slowing population growth to around 0.75% over 30 years and increasing road funding were highlighted as challenges and goals. STORY 7: Cherokee County Student Named Candidate for U.S. Presidential Scholars Program Creekview High School senior Kinley Sikes has been selected as a candidate for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, an elite national honor. Among 5,000 students nationwide and 207 from Georgia, Sikes was chosen based on her outstanding performance on the ACT or SAT.
