Here are the top three stories in Dacula today:

  1. A Dacula High School alum is exploring his options through the NCAA transfer portal. Jordan Addison is a wide receiver for Pittsburgh and has been recognized as the nation's top receiver last year by the Biletnikoff Award. Addison can now be picked up by another school, but the portal entry does not preclude him from remaining with Pittsburgh. (Altoona Mirror)
  2. Gwinnett County dairy farmers will begin selling raw dairy products on Jul. 1, 2023. The state's General Assembly approved the sale through the Georgia Raw Dairy Act. Opponents of the act are concerned about the health risks posed by raw milk. However, proponents say raw milk sales will potentially increase dairy farmers' profits. (GPB)
  3. The Gwinnett County Public Library is hosting a contest to determine the new sign for its Peachtree Corners Branch. Sketches can be submitted through the "I Saw The Sign" contest. A winning sketch will be chosen by the library's Teen Advisory Council. The winner will be able to work with library staff to bring the design into reality. (Gwinnett County Public Library)
