Medlock Bridge Rd/141 is being dedicated to Mark Burkhalter. The former State Rep who shepherded the creation of Johns Creek will have Medlock Bridge Rd from the Chattahoochee River to Abbotts Bridge Rd honored after him. The resolution was written by Brandon Beach.

This was proposed some years ago, by several State Reps, none from Johns Creek. Then the resolution called for the entire stretch of Medlock Bridge, from the River to McGinnis Ferry Rd to be dedicated. It is peculiar why Brandon Beach did not include the 'District' area of 141 in the current resolution.

Mark Burkhalter grew up in Alpharetta and attended Warsaw Elementary School, and later purchased it along with the surrounding buildings. He owns several properties along Medlock Bridge Rd, and is currently on the Georgia State Transportation Board (GDOT). His term expires April 2019.

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
