Sandy Springs looks set to get a third state Senator and more House representatives, as key legislative committees approve new political district maps.
Both the House and Senate maps could appear in front of the full House and Senate as early as Thursday, and Sandy Springs looks set to get a third state Senator and more House representatives, as key legislative committees approve new political district maps.

The draft shows the 6th state Senate district shifting east to cover nearly all the city south of Abernathy Road. That 6th District seat in the state Senate is now held by Senate Minority Caucus Chair Doug Stoner (D-Smyrna). But as the district morphs to include GOP-leaning Buckhead and Sandy Springs, it's not clear if a Democrat could carry it. …

After two years of waiting, the school can move forward on a proposed athletic facility.
It took two years but Holy Spirit Preparatory School is finally on its way toward having the athletic field they've waited for. After years of playing at various venues including North Springs High School's Thermopylae Stadium for their home games, the Holy Spirit Cougar football team will have a home turf of its own when the school's new athletic field is built on an 8-acre site south of I-285 between Long Island Drive and Lake Forrest Drive in Sandy Springs.
