Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul cuts the first slice of anniversary cake at the Nov. 22 Picnic in the Park at City Springs.
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — After the last farmers market of the season, Sandy Springs residents enjoyed a sentimental celebration Nov. 22 honoring the 20th anniversary of the city’s founding. The Picnic in the Park is part of a series of events throughout this year held by local leadership to honor Sandy Springs’ history, development and additions to its infrastructure since becoming an official city. Mayor Rusty Paul spoke to picnic attendees acknowledging founding Mayor Eva Galambos’ decades-long role in making Sandy Springs what it is today from when the vote for its incorporation was first cast in 2005. “For almost 40 years before it became a city, she was at the helm and we would not be here today without her leadership and her engagement,”
Much has changed over the last 20 years, but one thing remains the same, our community’s ability to build momentum, our ability to have a shared vision and a common goal about what we aspire it to be” RUSTY PAUL Sandy Springs Mayor Paul said, also thanking City Councilman Tibby DeJulio for his contributions while serving as vice chair for the Committee for Sandy Springs.

County officials tour new Human Services center By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — In just a few months, North Fulton residents will have a new county facility off Ga. 400 in Alpharetta, expanding access to health and human services. Local leaders gathered at 4770 North
Point Parkway Nov. 18 for a hard-hat tour of the nearly completed Fulton County Health and Human Services North facility. With renovations of both floors substantially completed, the facility will focus on senior health services when it opens in early 2026. The Fulton County Health and
Human Services Center North will centralize and expand existing services while making room for new ones, like specialized services for independent seniors and an adult day care for those in assisted living or with caregivers. Officials last met for a sledgehammer ceremony to kick off renovations in February.
County Commissioner Bridget Thorne said she hopes the Health and Human Services Center becomes a community building, where residents can come enjoy the cafeteria that looks out onto a lake. Thorne said she’s most excited about the facility’s new services for seniors.
