🌱Property Tax Increase Public Hearing + Sandy Springs Adoptable Pets

Good morning, Sandy Springs! I am your host, Patrick Murray here with a couple fresh stories to kick off your Friday.

First, today's weather:

Evening thunderstorm with a high of 91 and a low of 73.

Here are the top stories in Sandy Springs today:

1. The City of Sandy Springs announced an upcoming public hearing to discuss its plans to increase property taxes this year by 3.85 percent over the rollback millage rate. A board of tax assessors is required to review the assessed value each year. The first of three meetings will be held on Aug. 9 at 4 p.m. in City Hall. (Sandy Springs)
2. There are numerous dogs, cats, and other pets available for adoption in your area. Shelters in and around Sandy Springs are housing these could-be companions, only a handful of which will eventually be adopted. Look no further if you are looking to add a loving pet to your home.
