• County Commissioners approve commercial rezoning on Highway 96 (hhjonline.com) — Houston County commissioners have approved commercial rezoning at Highway 96 and Old Hawkinsville Road, a change that nearby Bonaire residents worry could erode the area's rural, residential feel. Longtime resident Tony Bass cited the county's own comprehensive plan and traffic concerns, while commissioners ultimately emphasized property rights and limited the approval to creating a single commercial node.
   

• Houston County School District plans rezoning amid rapid growth, impacting over 900 students (13wmaz.com) — Houston County School District is proposing new zoning maps that would shift hundreds of students, including those at Bonaire Middle School, to different campuses next year. Aimed at handling rapid growth and opening Veterans Middle School in 2027, the plan seeks smoother feeder patterns while allowing families to keep students at current schools if they handle transportation.
