🌱 Brandon Hall Drive Closure + Sandy Springs Residents Echo Bauman

Good morning, Sandy Springs! I am your host, Patrick Murray here with three headlines to kick off your Thursday.

First, today's weather:

Evening thunderstorm with a high of 83 and a low of 61.

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

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Sandy Springs 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 stories in Sandy Springs today:

1. A stretch of Brandon Hall Drive will be closed for construction beginning on June 13. The project is expected to last for four weeks for repair work. The section between Habersham Waters Road and Spalding Drive will be closed, meaning the campus will not be accessible via Spalding. (Reporter Newspapers)
2. Residents of Sandy Springs voiced support for Councilmember Andy Bauman's plea to find ways to stop gun violence. Bauman's resolutions outlined ways in which to influence legislation to seriously approach gun safety and mental health. The discussions in City Council come in the wake of the deadly mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. (Reporter Newspapers)
3. There are five lovely homes on the market in Sandy Springs, and they can be viewed here in our real estate roundup. Patch has partnered with Redfin to bring you this weekly list of open houses in your area. (Sandy Springs Patch)
