Around Canton is dedicated to living up to our slogan: Your Community. Your Magazine. Our staff constantly is looking for ways to support our local businesses and our city officials. You might have noticed the downtown Canton business district map in our April issue. If you missed it, don’t worry! We’re including it toward the back of each issue through the rest of the year, and we’ll update it as new businesses open.
This month, we wanted to take a deeper look at the city’s Roadmap for Success, developed by Mayor Bill Grant; City Council members William Carlan, Sandy McGrew, JoEllen Wilson, Shawn Tolan, Brooke Schmidt and Dwayne Waterman; City Manager Billy Peppers and others integral to the growth and development of the Coolest Small Town in America.
Read over this carefully, and look for future issues of Around Canton, which will dive deeper into the specifics of what’s new and what’s coming in Canton. We’ve asked city officials to share, in depth, what you should expect in your community. We look forward to learning more about the exciting developments to come.
Here is an excerpt from Mayor Bill Grant’s introduction to the Roadmap for Success. Read it in its entirety at www.cantonga.gov.
Please make Canton walkable! We want to live there, but haven’t seen any places in the to live. Where are the nearby condos and lofts? Am I missing something?
And with that beautiful riverfront, I can imagine all sorts of wonderful!
Where we live now (on the Beltline,) we can walk to the doctor, dentist, grocery, post office, etc. As soon as Canton offers that, I’m moving;-)
Sorry. I meant to say the downtown area to live.
