The Ball Ground Business & Community Association graciously welcomes you to our growing city. Located in north Cherokee County just off I-575, Ball Ground was once the home of Creek & Cherokee Indians, and after the railroad depot construction, the home of major marble finishing and lumber companies. Today, Ball Ground is once again a thriving town with many new businesses, yet still retains the small-town atmosphere of the past.
What's Happening Around Town
Business of the Month - April 2018
Our "Business of the Month" for April is Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery Center. We celebrate this award with them, and appreciate their dedicated service to our community, and their enthusiastic support of BGBCA. They are a Gold Sponsor for our event at Stripling-Lovelady-Homiller house in April, and are also providing a driver and van for our shuttle service. Additionally, they are hosting our April Lunch & Learn on-site at 1380 Howell Bridge Road in Ball Ground on April 11th at 11am. This is a wonderful chance to check out the awesome resources available at Blue Ridge when and if someone we love, or we ourselves, ever need it. This facility is worth seeing just for the location and beauty of the place. Again, congratulations, Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery Center! We appreciate you!
Member of the Quarter
Ball Ground Historical Society
Our "Member of the Quarter" for 2nd Quarter this year is the Ball Ground Historical Society. BGHS is a valued promoter and protector of our shared history, and sponsors wonderful programs to inform and educate us about our history on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm at City Hall in Ball Ground located at 315 Valley Street. Meetings are open to the public. BGHS is very supportive of the efforts of BGBCA and are currently a Gold Sponsor, and Raffle Basket donor for our event at Stripling-Lovelady-Homiller house in April. They also arranged for Frank Homiller, (of the Homiller family) to be the featured speaker at their monthly meeting on March 27th. Mr. Homiller brought lots of "before and after" pictures of the restoration of the house, and was a wealth of information. We appreciate BGHS's collaboration with us to bring more visibility to this wonderful event. Additionally, individual members of the Society are supporting our fundraising efforts by buying tickets to attend the event, which will in turn increase our ability to provide funds to support projects benefiting our community. Thank you BGHS! You are a wonderful community partner!
