Pleasant Hill Road Upgrades Wrap Up Just in Time for Monday
Perry, GA · September 20, 2026
Slipping down to the casting pond before the afternoon clouds roll in might be the best call you make all weekend. Take things easy today — there is plenty of time to catch up on what is ahead.
The Lead
A proposed 358-home subdivision along Kings Chapel Road is sparking lively discussions across town over the pace of local growth. The project would transform dozens of acres of open farmland on the eastern edge into a dense residential neighborhood.
Longtime residents have voiced worries about traffic bottlenecks on two-lane rural corridors and classroom capacity across county schools. For municipal planners, however, preparing for such growth reflects the reality of steady regional expansion. Houston County commissioners have already reviewed the annexation parcel, raising questions about utility connections and recommending altered road access points before any subdivision plans move forward.
Perry leaders will take up the rezoning and annexation petition in formal work sessions next month, where neighbors plan to bring a full list of questions about sewer capacity, turn lanes, and preserved green buffers.

- Morning by Morning Coffee
- Before baristas poured espresso drinks at 1012 Main Street, the property opened in 1958 as Wordna Gray’s Phillips 66 service station, fitted with four gas pumps and two service bays. Today, house-roasted coffee flows where mechanics once turned wrenches.
