The board's proposal for solving problems related to the age of the buildings includes building new historically-accurate buildings in front of the old ones before demolishing them.

Time is running out for Georgia residents to vote early in this month’s primary elections, but hundreds have already cast their ballots in a variety of races.

Several well-known candidates, including Sen. Jeff Mullis, R-Chickamauga, face challengers in the May 24 primary, but voters will also decide several local issues, such as the future of Gordon Lee High School.

Early voting in Georgia has been open since May 2 and many election officials are pleased with the turnout they’ve already seen, but they also note that their offices haven’t been as busy as they were a few months ago during the presidential primary.
