Here are the top three stories in Johns Creek today:

1. The city of Johns Creek will be hosting three meetings to discuss the millage rate - the tax rate used to calculate local property taxes. In 2021, the Johns Creek City Council adopted a final millage rate of 3.986 and now Georgia state law requires public hearings to occur before the 2022 rate can be set. The meetings will take place on Monday, Jul. 25 at 11 a.m., Monday, Jul. 25 at 6 p.m., and Monday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m. during the City Council meeting. (City of Johns Creek, Georgia - Government)
