The week ahead in Milton
Your ballot: early voting June 6, runoff June 16. The HD47 Georgia House primary runoff — for the Milton-area seat held by retiring Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones — is Tuesday, June 16, with early voting in Fulton County starting Saturday, June 6. Milton spans HD47 and HD49; only HD47 has a runoff. Candidates side by side, the district map, and where and when to vote are in our 2026 Voter Guide — facts only, no endorsements.
Monday, June 1 · 6:00 p.m. · Milton City Hall. Regular City Council meeting — see Council Watch above for what's on the agenda.
All week. Freemanville Road remains closed at the Cooper Sandy Creek crossing — week one of GDOT's 150-day bridge replacement that started May 26. Detours via Birmingham, Providence, and Mayfield are holding up; expect the heaviest backups during the morning and evening commutes.
Pool's open daily. Milton City Pool at Milton City Park & Preserve is in regular-season mode. Day passes are $5 per Milton resident; season passes pay back at ten visits. Hours and rates here.
Looking ahead — Monday, June 29 · 6:00 p.m. · City Hall. The city's Comprehensive Plan Update Open House — your chance to weigh in on the long-range plan that decides where Milton grows and where it stays rural (the same plan today's lead story is built on).
