City to revisit comprehensive roads program By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — It has been seven years since the City of Milton’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan was updated, and a new iteration is set to come in December.

Officials begin elections plan By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Following the Milton City Council’s decision to run their own municipal elections, city staff continue to check boxes and prepare for the months to come. At an April 10 meeting City Manager Steve Krokoff presented his team’s newest findings and posited the latest

Still, a number of items remain on the checklist. One notable topic at the April 10 meeting was the price tag. Krokhoff’s presentation included a cost estimate of $98,382, around $26,000 more than the one presented by the Milton Municipal Election Feasibility Committee.
