Hey, everybody! It's me, Danielle Fallon-O'Leary, your host of the Daily. Let's get this week started off right with a quick review of the most important things happening in town these days.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and beautiful. High: 76 Low: 52.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Dacula who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Dacula Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Dacula:

Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry made the announcement during the Chamber's luncheon. According to McMurry, State Route 316 will be under heavy construction starting mid-2024. There will be three simultaneous projects on State Route 316 which will make it a limited-access highway all the way to Athens. (Gwinnettdailypost.com)
