Publix still a player in 2010? On our /Hometown Headlines site today, we take a look at the latest rumors concerning whether the county's first Publix is on the way. What is of interest to Bartow County: Updates on a second Cartersville store, at Carter Grove Commons (click), which originally carried a 2010 opening date and was confirmed by the grocer (right). The project site remains up but the opening date is no longer posted. Publix remains on the move as shown by a recent Paulding County opening.
