• The City of Douglasville is considering about moving several offices to the former Jett & Liss lawyer’s office, which is adjacent and now owned by the Douglasville Convention and Conference Center. Plans for this building were intended to expand the conference, however now this looks very unlikely considering City Manager Bill Osborne says that the city could use the building for relocate offices and be in use for the next 2-4 years. Those pending to move into the 2,700 sq. ft. building include is CITI TV & Communications, Community and Downtown Services Department, Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, and Code Enforcement. (story)
• The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that Douglas County is the 9th fastest growing county in the state of Georgia, while ranked 40th overall in the nation.

Georgia had 18 counties in the top 100 of fastest growing counties nationwide, making it most than any other state. (story)

• Hail from the size of peas to baseballs fell on Douglas County yesterday as a string of thunderstorms following a cold front moved west across north Georgia. (story)
• The Douglasville City Council is debating whether to change the city’s zoning ordinance (meeting agenda) to have commercial building only have brick facades within city limits - which constitutes Douglasville and immediate surrounding area, parts of Thornton Road and the Tributary on Riverside Parkway. If the amendment is passed, developers seeking other materials would have to file for an exemption. (story)
• Mike Miller, a local attorney and businessman, is hoping to fill the District 1 seat on the Douglas County Board of Education when his name appears on the July 15th Republican Primary ballot. (story)

• After a recent AP report regarding trace amounts of drugs found in drinking at 24 metropolitan cities nationwide, the Douglasville-Douglas County WSA has sent samples of treated water to be tested as a precaution. However weeks before the story broke, the DDCWSA had already tested raw (untreated) water and found minute trace amounts of transtestosterone, fluoxetine (Prozac) and cotinine. There should be no fear of the contaminants since the DDCWSA is widely known across the country for having award-winning water treatment plants. (story)
• Plans to turn Villa Rica’s Main Street into a one-way westbound street has been put on hold after Rex Camp, a local business owner, claiming more traffic congestion at the intersection of Highway 78. The City Council is now reviewing their plans to see if other alternatives are available. The street would have been converted a week earlier if it wasn’t for heavy rainstorms. (story)

• A survey conducted by the Community Organizing Resources for Excellence (CORE) has found that over half the teenage students in the Douglas County School System have been absent from school six or more days. A link to the story is not available at this time due to the Sentinel having the wrong story linked.
• Bernard Sutton was sentenced Monday on charges regarding “robbery and attempting to elude law enforcement” after hitting up the Wachovia Bank on Lee Road, receiving 25 years with 15 years in prison. (story)
• The Taste of Douglasville will be on May 17 where public is invited to join in the fun of eatting local foods and buying crafts. Oddly enough registration for the event exclusively states that sales of any kind are prohibited. (story)
• The Georgia Department of Natural Resources is now allowing the WSA to issue permits “to local industries for pretreatment of wastewater released into the sewage system.” (story)
