SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Sandy Springs has hired a familiar face to take over as city manager. Eden Freeman, who was the city's assistant city manager from 2011 to 2014, was announced last week as city manager, according to a statement from the city. "We are delighted that Eden is coming home," Mayor Rusty Paul said in the statement. "She knows Sandy Springs and understands our expectations. I look forward to her arrival and assuming this key responsibility." Freeman rejoins Sandy Springs from Greenville, S.C., where she served as deputy city manager since 2020.

"I am honored by the confidence the Mayor and Council have placed in me and am thrilled to be rejoining the team in Sandy Springs," Freeman said. "There is a lot of exciting work ahead of us, and working together, I am confident we will continue to make Sandy Springs everything Mayor Eva Galambos and our other founding leaders dreamed it would be." Freeman will begin her role on Jan. 17.
