🌱 Phishing Phone Calls + Saia Freight LTL Expansion

Hello all. It's me, Dan Casarella, your host of the Johns Creek Daily — here to explain everything you need to know about what's happening in town. Follow along for the latest...

First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the p.m. High: 94 Low: 75.

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

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Johns Creek 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 in Johns Creek today:

1. Johns Creek-based Saia LTL Freight is expanding with its Northern Illinois operations. The company is focused on providing customers with direct shipping points and this 179th terminal aids in that mission. Saia plans to open two more terminals this month. (GuruFocus.com)
2. The public is invited to share their thoughts on the possible reconstruction and widening of McGinnis Ferry Road. The widening includes a buffer that will be replanted with native grasses once the construction is complete. The public has until Jul. 14 to comment. (The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
3. Johns Creek residents have been alerted to a warrant scam being operated over the phone. The reported phishing call claimed the victim had failed to appear for jury duty and needed to wire $1,000 to avoid prosecution. The caller may be identifying himself as Lt. Solis with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. (Appen Media)
