Powder Springs ZIP code changes Tuesday
Nearly 700 Cobb County residents with a Hiram zip code of 30141 in Paulding County will have their ZIP code changed back to the 30127 of Powder Springs.
The change was delayed by a year due to sequestration, affecting the consolidation of certain post offices.

Sandy Springs to hold tax hearings
Sandy Springs officials will hold the first of three public hearings on the city’s proposed fiscal 2015 millage rate 6 p.m. July 15 at the City Hall council chambers, 7840 Roswell Road. The city’s $200 million 2015 budget requires an unchanged millage rate of 4.73, but officials say the rate will reflect as slightly more than 1 percent higher than the rollback, or revenue-neutral tax rate, due to a jump in property values. Hearings are set for 7:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Aug. 5. Mark Woolsey for the AJC
