Get a glimpse of life in City Hall
We at City Hall are always looking for ways to make your Milton government more open, more accommodating and easier to use. And this April, everyone in the city has a truly great opportunity to make this ongoing mission a reality during Georgia Cities Week.
Now in its 11th year, Georgia Cities Week, scheduled for April 18-24, is a program created by the Georgia Municipal Association to highlight everything a community's government can be. In Milton, we take this opportunity to shine seriously. As such, I would like to invite everyone to experience life at City Hall.
