Following the successful launch of five White Squirrels in May, NPAC is nearly ready to introduce six new statues throughout Norcross, including the Women’s Library, Johnson Dean Forest Preserve, Lionheart Theatre, the South End area, and Veterans Memorial Park.
The public art project honors the leucistic white squirrels found throughout the city, especially near Norcross City Hall and Heritage Park.
