Progress is being made at Tech Park
By Chuck Thompson
News Editor
Signs of change are becoming more evident
along Ga. 141 near the Forsyth-Fulton County line,
as work continues on a 1,700-acre mixed-use
development proposed by Technology Park/At
lanta.
Known as Technology Park/Johns Creek, the
development will be located in southeast Forsyth
County and northeast Fulton County.
Improvements noticeable from the highway
include work on a golf course, construction of
some small lakes and paving of a new two-lane
road that will serve as the main road through an
industrial section of the development.
George Eichler, director of project planning for
Technology Park/Atlanta, said an earth median
dividing the road will be “heavily landscaped.”
A couple of improvements that may not have
been noticed by motorists on Ga. 141 are two new
sewer lines one on the east side of the highway,
and the other located west of the highway along
Johns Creek.
Eichler said 250 acres in Fulton County and
about 25 acres in Forsyth County will be served by
the east sewer line.
He said the size of parcels sold in Johns Creek
will depend on a particular company’s needs, and
that many companies like those which are located
in Technology Park’s Norcross development are
anticipated.
Forestry use plan finished
Should additional wilderness areas
be recommended for Georgia? To
what extent should off-road vehicles
be allowed on the National Forests?
Which cutting methods should be
used to harvest timber on the Na
tional Forests?
These are just a few of the ques
tions addressed in a Land Manage
ment Plan released by the U.S.
Forest Service.
Pat Thomas, supervisor of the
Chattahoochee-Oconee Forest, said
the plan will bring about several
significant changes in the way the
National Forests are being managed.

Plan will probably not completely

These companies tend to buy parcels in the 10- to
20-acre range.
Eichler said some big users are expected, along
with smaller companies, and that Technology
Park officials are now working on two prospects
for the Fulton County portion of Johns Creek.
When asked why Technology Park chose to put a
new development in the Johns Creek area, Eichler
noted that the area is located between Ga. 400 and
1-85, where “big growth” is taking place.
In addition, he said Technology Park had al
ready been successful with its Norcross devel
opment, located several miles south of Johns
Creek on Ga. 141.
Industries that located in the Norcross devel
opment are now facing rising land values that
increase operating costs. And, in recent years,
new tenants in the Norcross development have
been more of the “headquarters type,” like Hayes
Microcomputer Products.
At Johns Creek, Eichler sees a market for light
assembly, manufacturing and research. These
types of facilities, he said, are what Technology
Park “grew up on.”
The first phase of the Johns Creek development
will be an office/research park encompassing 800
acres on the east side of Ga. 141, north of Abbotts
Bridge Road.
Charles R. Brown, president of Technology
Park/Atlanta, said Johns Creek will reflect his
firm’s historical concern for blending its devel
Forest lands and will best serve the
majority of citizens over the long
run,” Thomas said.
Released for public review on Sept.
25, the plan describes how the Chatta
hoochee and Oconee National Forests
will be managed over the next 10 to 15
years.
The Forest Service began the plan
ning process in 1979 with the goal of
identifying and resolving many di
verse issues.
Since that time, over 2,500 people
have worked with the Forest Service
to develop the final version of the
plan.
Implementation of the plan will
probably begin in November 1985.

Management Plan contact: Forest

opments with the environment.
“Those who live and work at Technology Park
/Johns Creek will find a balance between devel
opment and nature that should provide a pleasant,
yet stimulating atmosphere,” Brown said. “A
majority of the land area will be devoted to
pastoral common areas, paths, trails and lakes
that usually are not found in office park devel
opments.”
Plans for later phases of the development, he
said, include a new championship golf course and
club facility, single-family housing and a variety
of recreational facilities.
Eichler said it will probably be next fall before
the golf course is complete, and that the club
facility will hopefully be complete at the same
time.
Residential construction will consist of a variety
of single-family homes, large estate homes built
on lots larger than one acre each and high-quality
condominiums.
Recreational facilities will include tennis
courts, multi-purpose playing fields, nature trails,
bicycle paths and an enclosed complex that will
house health facilities and a gymnasium.
Also planned for Johns Creek is a technically
oriented conference/training center with lodging
facilities, which will be called the Georgia Techni
cal/Environmental Center.
Construction and land costs of the total project
are an estimated SSOO million.

What Is
Great Southern
Pride?
Great Southern Pride is a result of fifty years of
individuals doing their best... one person at a
time... one day at a time... building a proud
tradition of service and strength. Half a century old
and one billion dollars strong, Great Southern
Federal is bursting with pride.
It is a healthy pride we speak of. Not a pride
which selfishly rests on its past, but rather a pride
which looks to the future with both eyes focused on
continuing to perform even better as we move into
our second half-century... one person at a
time... one day at a time.
It is a thankful pride; a pride which realizes our
customers have allowed us the privilege of serving
them; a pride which seeks to continue to be allow
ed to exercise that privilege
We hope the members of the Great Southern
Family all across Georgia share our enthusiasm for
how far we have come, and are as excited as we
are about where we are going.
Three words sum up that feeling...
Great Southern Pride.

CONSULTATION
Our Patients Speak Out...
My first belief in Chiropractic care was that they all were nothing but quacks! Little did I know that I would have my
stubborn mind changed, especially by a Chiropractor himself.
I came to Doctor Gregory's office simply to apply for a job. One of the requirements was that we (applicants) attend
his Wednesday night health talk; after the health talk that night, I had questions in my mind, for he covered some
very sore subjects, such as my shoulder and neck!
The very next morning, I woke with an excruciating pain in my shoulder & neck. I went into the office with the state
ment that I wonted something done, whether he hired me or not! I wanted the pain to go away! It was during the next
twelve hours that Dr. Gregory mode a real believer of me. I could not even raise my right arm above my waist and
after his exam, x-rays, ond adjustments, I was healed. The next day, I dubbed him "Reverend".
Seriously, he is very professional ond the pain did in fact go away. Not only did I fee! better from his core, but I got
the job. Praise the Lord on both counts. Marianna Smith
I hurt my bock while working and needed help! I went to the medical doctor and he was unable to help. I decided to
try Dr Gregory because I still could not work. Dr. Gregory began to correct my problem ond I soon returned to work.
I also has shoulder and orm pains for 5 years and Dr. Gregory corrected that also. I know bring my wife with me for
Chiropractic care to help her neck. Mr Arnold Boles
