New banners installed in support of Apalachee
The City of Winder has installed new flagpole banners to honor the four lives lost in the tragic Sept. 4, 2024, shooting at Apalachee High School.
The banners are located on Broad Street and at Jug Tavern Park.
The four designs feature the Apalachee High School logo, “We Are Barrow Strong,” “Love Will Prevail,” and “Their Light Shines On” with the names of Christian Angulo, Mason Schermerhorn, Richard Aspinwall, and Cristina Irimie.

 Paving the Way
It’s been a busy summer on Winder’s streets — with around 170 potholes and utility cuts patched and more than 30 larger areas resurfaced. This year’s paving budget comes from $1.1 million from the voter-approved TSPLOST and another $240,000 coming from Georgia’s LMIG program.
But how exactly does Winder prioritize which streets get paved? Watch as City Engineer Gerard Brewer explains the approach his department uses to make the best use of taxpayer dollars.
