Staff described the Rides for Wishes event as starting in August at 8 a.m. from Veterans Park (240 Constitution Boulevard), moving onto the Silver Comet Trail at the Tara Drummond Trailhead, and returning to Veterans Park for live entertainment, food and coffee trucks, and giveaways; staff said proceeds remain in Paulding County to sponsor local families working with Make-A-Wish Georgia. The county announced that Fire Station 13 at 2883 Old Cartersville Road will officially open and begin answering calls on a Monday in July; the meeting record states the station held a community open house the prior weekend.

Officials also listed Veterans Park summer activities: a movie night showing The Wild Robot on July 12 (activities begin at 7 p.m., movie at sundown); a Taylor Swift tribute band performance by Red on July 19 (park opens at 7 p.m., concert at 8 p.m., no alcohol); and a Downtown Dallas \"Christmas in July\" event on July 26. County staff reminded parents of the Paulding County School District open house on July 29 with staggered times by school and last-name groupings for elementary schools.

A county official also announced that early voting is open for a Democratic runoff in the Public Service Commission (PSC) primary; the runoff is for Democratic candidates only and voting is available at the county administration building/voter registration office during business hours. The official noted eligibility rules: Paulding County voters who either voted in the Democratic primary initially or did not vote in the PSC election may be eligible to vote in the runoff. No election schedule or exact polling-hour details were provided in the meeting record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners - Board Meeting (July 8th, 2025)","oneSentenceSummary","County officials announced community events at Veterans Park, the official opening of Fire Station 13, the Paulding County School District open house schedule, and information about an upcoming Democratic runoff for the Public Service Commission (PSC) primary with early voting now open.","taxTitle","Paulding County, Georgia","taxId",12823,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6177991,"Paulding County awards stormwater and concrete contracts totaling about $171,336",106,1268000,1374000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330487-54698fda186ca3f1a9ec0e25a23f7ac3&start=1268&end=1374","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330487-54698fda186ca3f1a9ec0e25a23f7ac3/thumbnail_1268000.jpg","/articles/6177991/Paulding-County/Georgia/Paulding-County-awards-stormwater-and-concrete-contracts-totaling-about-171336","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177991-491741ac766ea2c0cdc552cc83772fb9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770949585&Signature=alpbdyn~MmHHU5ArgooMDQlICnsjnaDtmp6ULv6CSr4U~dO7qJ8aLWWu-xE~dRfkXMrQntpLO3SKNlXsN~3mk4Dv88moLcTeXAzF6MlhhKH62FWIU-6v9wOGIQ5sZ9bS8TV6D8cN9oRgaYG9VMWSrpZLdtmJ7xS~5FNNvW~pmk~zFQPJ5INrOb2SErDtK0--sjp95g6XTdgcQd225ReVZJNwRFQ0UzFohYc92ZR6VMiegtBfqRdON6zQmWiRl1s4wbL2ImSpMU68Zfce2mwGuhMU7W3kQPJUkB2ZAoUHV~j8p~QtcC8ZYjncJCl-Wcf-53i-esATxNJx9taBUYMjZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paulding County commissioners awarded two construction-related contracts during the meeting: a stormwater maintenance project at 63 Aurora Drive to CSTC Inc. for $116,459.44 and a fiscal-year 2025 concrete contract to CSTE Inc. for $54,877.

The stormwater contract was awarded under the county's FY2025 stormwater infrastructure replacement and repair unit-price contract; funding was allocated from the stormwater department general funds and the project was located in Post 3.
