Cherokee County's penny sales tax appeared to be getting a six-year extension with approval of a majority of voters Tuesday, preliminary election results from the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office show.

A local nonprofit is asking for help to save a 250-year-old church in Holly Springs in need of repairs.

The historic Lebanon Church on Sixes Road has not had services in 30 years, Sheila Reed said, but she and a group of residents are trying to make sure the building and its history aren't lost.

Reed, who occasionally attended services at the church as a child and whose grandparents were members, said the group hopes to raise $55,000 for repairs to the church to potentially use the building again for services and open it to the community for events.
