On January 26, The Cobb County Board of Commissioners did not vote to issue the $40 million park bonds approved by voters in a 2008 referendum. Instead, they voted to authorize the Recreation Board to review the original list of properties and current parks inventory, and assess gaps in parks and green space. Members of the public are invited to nominate properties through April 15 using a form posted on the county website, www.cobbcounty.org, or they may print it out and submit it by mail.
The Board of Commissioners has also directed PARKS staff to seek public input through open houses. All meetings will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The following meetings will be held in East Cobb:
District Two: March 28
East Cobb Library
4800 Lower Roswell Road,
Marietta/East Cobb
District Three: March 29
East Cobb Senior Center
