City Hall invites residents to open forum on community concerns

The Dawsonville City Council held its regular meeting on April 7, 2025, where various topics were discussed, including community engagement initiatives and upcoming public assistance events.

The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of all council members and key city officials. Following the formalities, Council Member Sandy Sawyer led an invocation, emphasizing gratitude for the day and the community.

Mayor Pro Tem announced two significant events for residents. The first is a public assistance session with Representative Rich McCormick, scheduled for April 8 from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at City Hall.
