🌱 Multiple Car Burglaries + Survey For Strategic Plan + Poll Workers

Hey, friends! It's me, Danielle Fallon-O'Leary, your host of the Alpharetta-Milton Patch newsletter — back in your inbox with all the most important things happening in town these days.

But first, today's weather:

Sunny. High: 87 Low: 66.

Here are the top three stories today in Alpharetta-Milton:

1. A series of burglaries targeting multiple vehicles occurred in Alpharetta - Between May 15, from 3:00 p.m. to midnight, unidentified thieves broke into seven vehicles parked at various locations, including restaurants, a grocery store, and a park. Valuables such as medications, electronics, wallets, cash, and credit cards were stolen, with the burglars gaining entry by smashing the vehicle windows. Police hope to find leads through potential video evidence from the incidents. (Appen Media)
2. The cities of Alpharetta and Milton, in conjunction with the North Fulton Community Improvement District, are collaborating on a strategic plan for the Windward Parkway and Highway Nine corridors. These vibrant areas, known for their major employers, shopping hubs, and residential communities, are the focus of efforts to improve quality of life, economic competitiveness, and workplace desirability. To gather valuable input, an important survey has been launched - Businesses operating within the Windward Parkway/Highway Nine area are encouraged to participate by completing the survey before Jun. 16.

3. The City of Milton is hiring Poll Managers, Assistant Poll Managers, and Poll Clerks for the upcoming general municipal election. They are looking for dedicated individuals who enjoy working with people, have strong attention to detail, and are committed to making a positive impact in their community through their role in the election.
