DALTON, Ga. — Drawing on a background of business and volunteer work, the Dalton City Council’s new 4th Ward alderman, Gary Crews, aims to strengthen the city’s economy and quality of life.

“This is the best opportunity to take in serving my community,” Mr. Crews said.

He was sworn in May 17 and replaces Charlie Bethel, who is running to replace Don Thomas in the Georgia Senate. Mayor David Pennington said he thinks Mr. Crews is the ideal candidate to share the council’s vision.
