• Georgia Trend Daily – Aug. 21, 2026 (savannahherald.com) — A 19-acre mixed-use project called Canopy at Crooked Creek is being planned right at the Norcross–Peachtree Corners border, with developers already holding community meetings at Jefferson Plaza on Holcomb Bridge Road. The statewide news roundup also touches on big political races, economic development, and infrastructure projects across Georgia, but this border redevelopment is the most immediate change Norcross-area residents will notice.
