📰 News we're reading

• Residents say they were 'sold down the river' over PDK airport expansion (roughdraftatlanta.com) — Brookhaven residents packed a Dec. 9 town hall at Brookhaven City Centre to challenge a $45 million hangar expansion at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, citing noise, safety, and health concerns. Commissioner Ted Terry outlined the still-pending Sky Harbour contract, floated a moratorium on new hangars and stricter night-flight limits, and noted plans for a future $1 million annual noise-impact fund.
   

• Ga. woman almost lost thousands in police impersonation scam (walb.com) — A Brookhaven mom says scammers used AI to convincingly pose as DeKalb police, nearly tricking her into bringing $5,000 to a fake court appearance. Her family’s quick call to real authorities exposed the scheme, and she’s now warning Brookhaven neighbors to be skeptical of unsolicited calls, even when they sound official and reference real personal details.
   

• Sandy Springs incorporation opened the door to other municipalities (roughdraftatlanta.com) — Brookhaven’s 2012 incorporation is highlighted as part of a broader wave of new North Atlanta cities inspired by Sandy Springs’ 2005 cityhood. Local leaders, including Brookhaven’s mayor, describe how Sandy Springs’ model of self-governance and service delivery helped shape Brookhaven’s push for more local control and better quality-of-life outcomes.
