MILTON, Ga. — The City of Milton will take the first steps toward potentially allowing drone package deliveries in the city limits at its Monday city council meeting.
City officials announced plans to discuss the proposal on Sunday, with the drone delivery topic coming about from Walmart and drone company Wing, a subsidiary of Alphabet, which owns Google.
If Milton moves forward with a proposal to allow Walmart to use drones for package deliveries in the city, it would be one among several to take similar action in the metro Atlanta area last year.

Wing also delivers in Dallas, Hiram and McDonough, according to the company’s website.
