But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and nice. High: 75 Low: 53.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Woodstock-Towne Lake who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Woodstock-Towne Lake Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top four stories today in Woodstock-Towne Lake:

1. Woodstock local Bryce Leatherwood advanced through The Voice's knockout round on Tuesday, receiving nothing but praise from coaches Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, John Legend and Camila Cabello. In fact, since he first appeared on the show, Leatherwood has received compliments from the coaches after every performance, with John Legend saying of the singer, "I heard the richness in your voice. No matter what genre you sing, it's about the charisma you have as an artist." Leatherwood's coach, Blake Shelton, commented "Bryce, you have the greatest gift of all, which is you don't really have to do anything and people just like you." Way to go, Bryce! Make sure to tune in to NBC on Tuesday to catch the next episode. (Music Mayhem Magazine)
2. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved a Growth Boundary Agreement with Holly Springs at its regular meeting on Tuesday. The agreement defines and limits Holly Springs' future growth and ensures that both sides will be allowed input on projects within the boundary. The growth boundary will circle the existing city limits, running along Univeter Road east to Highway 140 and southeast along Highway 140 to East Cherokee Drive. After traveling along East Cherokee Drive, the boundary heads south then west along Hickory Road to Toonigh Road, along Toonigh Road to Old Highway 5, then south to meet the Little River and the Woodstock boundary. Finally, the boundary heads west, intersects Marble Quarry Road and then north to the Canton border. The county has existing boundary agreements with Ball Ground, Canton and Woodstock.
