3. Hall County: A Front Porch For All (georgiatrend.com) — Flowery Branch's new mayor, Oliver McClellan, is pushing ahead with downtown revitalization, exploring more restaurants and mixed-use projects on Main Street while community events see sharply higher turnout. The story also highlights Mimaki USA's expanded Flowery Branch headquarters, the Porch on Main's role as a local gathering spot, and Hall County's broader growth in jobs, healthcare, education, and lakefront amenities that directly affect residents' daily lives.

Cushman & Wakefield Tapped to Market Properties Once Slated for Detention Centers (commercialobserver.com) — Federal officials are moving to sell seven former warehouse sites, including one on Atlanta Highway in Flowery Branch, that had been slated for immigrant detention centers but never used that way.
