Bob Barr, Author of The Barr Report and Former US Congressman, will speak to Cherokee CPR on Monday, June 18th at 7:30pm at Creekview High School in Canton, GA. The topic of conversation is slated to cover the soaring tax assessments of undeveloped property in Cherokee County and an update on the county land use map. Information will be given out on how to appeal your tax assessment and reasons why certain properties should not be valued as highly as others. The group encourages attendees to bring their tax appraisal slip if they have questions or need assistance with an appeal.
Cherokee CPR has been very active in voicing concerns and helping shape the future land use map of Cherokee County. Cherokee currently has approximately 200,000 in population and that is expected to double in the next 30 years. The Cherokee Tribune recently wrote:
"… the council reviewed a development demand and
capacity analysis compiled by county Long-Range Planner Margaret
Stallings.
The analysis showed a range of population estimates for the county
using the future land-use map. The analysis showed a 2030 population
estimate of 303,771 at the lowest and 540,384 at the highest. Council
members said they hope to come up with a map that would be in the
middle of those two totals."
Many residents and local commissioners have adopted "slow growth" positions to combat the impending population boom. However, as I have noted before, slow-growth policies add to sprawl and do not reduce the problem. Smart-Growth is a much more sustainable solution.
