Dear Friends,

It's apparent to all of us that growth is a way of life here in Coweta and Fayette counties. Residential and commercial building is everywhere. New shops and corporations are coming into the area and existing businesses are flourishing.

Still, our corner of Georgia can boast a high quality of life, in a large part because of the efforts of community leaders to preserve the area's natural beauty. With parks, bike and cart paths and nature centers, we are blessed with the best of both worlds.

A lot of the new growth is especially focused in Senoia and Tyrone, so in this issue we've keyed in on these two "small towns". The officials in both are working hard to accommodate new residents and interests while holding onto their homey feel. We applaud their efforts to develop the area wisely.

The area is also enjoying added attractions and services. The Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater and the Villages Amphitheater are expanding their line-ups and events so none of us have to travel far for quality entertainment. Local hospitals are committed to meeting our needs and expanding their services. Schools offer programs for the entire range of students they serve.

Our residents' hearts also continue to grow. Braelinn Community Services and the Coweta Samaritans are two local organizations that bring people together, connecting those in need to those who can help. Through everyone working together, Coweta and Fayette counties will continue to grow strong into the future.
