DID YOU KNOW...?
Congratulations to Mayor Craig Newton and to Councilmembers Matt Myers and Bruce Gaynor on their re-elections! This race brought out strong engagement across the community, with candidates like Samantha Spitzner and Briana Murray adding their voices to the conversation. The genuine love people have for our city is a big part of what makes Norcross feel so special, and this election season really showed it.
Also, performer applications for Norcross Porchfest on May 2, 2026 are now open! We’re looking for solo artists, bands in any genre or language, poets, authors, comedians, magicians, and all kinds of performers.
