STORY 1: Mall of Georgia Announces New Additions

The Mall of Georgia, celebrating its 25th anniversary, announced new retailers, including an Italian restaurant, enhancing its shopping and lifestyle offerings. The newly expanded Apple Store and My Salon Suite are now open. Upcoming additions include Lululemon, offering athletic apparel, Fit2Run, a runner's superstore, and Vendetti’s, an Italian eatery. These additions reflect the mall's commitment to providing a premier experience for families and shoppers.

STORY 2: Gwinnett Ninth-Grader Wins 3M Young Scientist Challenge

Sirish Subash, a ninth-grader from Gwinnett County, won the 2024 3M Young Scientist Challenge with his AI handheld pesticide detector, Pestiscand. This device uses spectrophotometry and machine learning to detect pesticide residues on produce, achieving over 85% accuracy. Subash, a student at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology, received a $25,000 prize. Competing against nine finalists, he excelled in the final events at 3M's headquarters. The challenge pairs finalists with 3M scientists for mentorship, and Subash worked with Aditya Banerji to develop his prototype.

STORY 3: Two Legendary Gwinnett Quarterbacks Join Georgia Hall of Fame

David Greene and Terry Harvey, two standout athletes from Gwinnett County, were inducted into the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame. Greene, a South Gwinnett graduate, transformed his team from winless to playoff contenders, later excelling at the University of Georgia. Harvey, a Dacula alum, was a versatile player, leading his team to a 46-7 record and excelling at N.C. State in both football and baseball. Both athletes were celebrated for their leadership and impact on their high school programs, contributing to their lasting legacies in Gwinnett County sports.

STORY 4: State yanks permit for South Georgia biomass plant

Georgia environmental regulators revoked a permit for a wood pellet plant in Telfair County after a legal challenge by the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC). The permit, initially approved without required pollution controls, would have doubled emissions, violating the Clean Air Act. The revocation, requested by the company, led SELC to withdraw its legal challenge. Environmentalists criticized the initial approval, highlighting air quality concerns, while industry supporters argue that wood pellet plants provide jobs in rural areas. The biomass industry is significant in Georgia, with pellets exported for power generation in Europe and Asia.

STORY 5: Region Champs: North Gwinnett Hangs On to Beat Norcross

North Gwinnett secured the Region 7-AAAAAA championship with a 27-21 win over Norcross, ending a three-way tie from last season. Ryan Hall led the Bulldogs with three touchdown passes, helping them build a 27-0 lead. Despite a strong second-half rally by Norcross, North Gwinnett's defense held firm. Hall completed 8 of 17 passes for 138 yards and added 80 rushing yards. Norcross' Dillon Mohammed threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns, but their comeback fell short. North Gwinnett will host the first playoff round, while Norcross aims for the No. 2 seed.
