MILTON, Ga. – A familiar face has announced he is running for Milton Council this November. Former Milton Councilmember Rick Mohrig has said he is running for City Council to fill the remainder of Councilmember Lance Large's term.

At the Aug. 20 meeting of the North Fulton Alliance of Young Professionals at the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub, Mohrig made the announcement that he wanted to rejoin council.

"I'm excited about getting involved again with the city," he said. "The city is on the right track and overall, things are going well."

He said he wants to help continue on that path.

"We're going to have growth, but what kind do we want?" he said. "Where do our citizens want growth?"

Mohrig was one of the first members of council when Milton became a city. He was voted out in 2007.

Large resigned his post to move to Virginia.

Mohrig owns Reliable Renovation and Repairs. He has served on the city's Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals.
