📰 News we're reading

• Sugarloaf Korean Baptist celebrates 50 years of ministry, church planting (christianindex.org) — A long-established Suwanee congregation, Sugarloaf Korean Baptist Church, just marked 50 years of ministry and continues to shape local life from its Old Peachtree Road campus. The church now draws about 650 worshipers, plants new congregations across Georgia, and runs programs like Korean School, senior academy, and school appreciation events that connect with hundreds of students, families, and educators in nearby Suwanee-area schools.
   

• Autonomous technology company hits 1 billion kilometers (ccjdigital.com) — A major logistics player just bought a 230,000-square-foot warehouse in Suwanee, strengthening the city's role in Atlanta's distribution network along I‑85. The facility's location ties Suwanee more closely to regional freight routes, airports, and ports, which could influence local jobs, truck traffic, and future industrial development around Horizon Drive.
   

• A Chinese Supplier Just Opened a Georgia Factory to Build the Exact Tech Washington Is Trying to Ban (theautowire.com) — Suwanee is now home to a new YYFORE automotive electronics factory, producing digital key modules and high-tech sensors that sit at the center of a looming federal crackdown on China-linked vehicle technology. The facility brings advanced manufacturing and potential jobs to the area, but also raises questions about supply-chain control, national security rules taking effect by 2030, and how "Made in Georgia" labels intersect with foreign ownership.
