Conservation v. construction conflicts shape Etowah Valley growth plans
County commissioners spent a year shaping a 25 year growth vision, weighing dense development against preserving open land and rural character. A 7000 person survey urged conservation, but votes favored easing river area rules and residential deregulation. The Etowah Valley fight over a 400 duplex plan at a golf course spurred a preservation group and possible incorporation talks. A separate Poplar Drive fire near Kyle's Creek prompted charges against a Florida man for a rekindled debris burn with a $50 potential fine.
