Roswell to hold final hearing on millage rate Residents raise concerns over rising property values By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Residents questioned the City of Roswell’s proposal to keep the property tax rate steady for 2024 during a second public hearing on Oct. 7. The city is proposing a rate of 4.949 mills, where 1 mill represents a tax liability of one dollar per $1,000 of assessed property value or 40 percent of its fair market value. The millage rate has two components: 4.049 mills for the city’s maintenance and operations for services like public safety and .900 mills for debt service. If the millage rate is kept the same, by law, that translate to a tax increase because property values have risen.

Alpharetta photo exhibit reveals miniature worlds By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — There’s another world hiding in plain sight on the miniature scale, photographer Elena Sullivan says. “It’s very interesting to show tiny things to the big world,” said Sullivan, who lives in Alpharetta. “Sometimes people don’t notice when we are running around, rushing to work or
rushing home. It’s easy to miss all that beauty. That’s what mesmerizes me.” Sullivan’s exhibit, “Refreshing Whispers of Bloom,” is on display at the Alpharetta Branch Library, 10 Park Plaza, through Oct. 20. Her collection of 15 fine art photos captures the smallest details of flowers through a macro lens, revealing miniscule details like dew drops and petals.
