Johns Creek’s mayor and city council recently appointed Erin Eggerton to replace a recently vacated spot on the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee. Eggerton will replace Mary Justice who resigned on June 8. She will complete Justice’s unexpired term which ends Feb. 28, 2023.

Eggerton is currently a Johns Creek Beautification board member, works in turf and ornamental tree/shrub health and care, is field trained in design and a GGIA Certified Plant Professional.
