Millage rate to be set at upcoming meeting
At our July 23 commission meeting, I will propose a decrease in the county millage rate. The millage rate determines how much a property owner pays in annual property taxes. This millage decrease is the first step in a five year commitment to reduce property taxes. This reduction is possible because the local economy continues to improve and tight spending controls within the county budget. The meeting is scheduled to be held 7 p.m. at the Cobb County Board of Commissioners meeting room at 100 Cherokee Street, Marietta.


East Cobb park to celebrate anniversary
It has been 10 years since a few east Cobb residents realized their vision for a beautiful green space located in the heart of east Cobb. Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the park 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., Saturday, July 13 as The Friends for East Cobb Park honor the founders of the park and East Cobb Civitan Club with food, refreshments, inflatable bounce houses, guest speakers, a DJ and entertainment. The event is open to all. East Cobb Park is located at 3322 Roswell Road, Marietta.

Tornado debris pickup continues
The Cobb County Department of Transportation reported July 3 that 102 trees have been cleared from the roadways during cleanup efforts from the recent tornado.
