📰 News we're reading

• Public safety drives business growth in Sandy Springs and Troup County (atlantamagazine.com) — Public safety and business growth are tightly linked in Troup County, where LaGrange’s 100-officer police department and the sheriff’s office work closely with major employers like Duracell and Kia. Local leaders say low crime and visible policing help attract new manufacturing, tourism, and logistics projects, while programs like safety classes and downtown outreach directly support LaGrange businesses and their employees.
