AROUND TOWN: Georgia’s last Democratic governor has advice for its next one

The day after Georgia elected its first Democratic governor in over two decades, the last person to hold that distinction spoke in Cobb County. Roy Barnes, who served as Georgia’s governor from 1999 to 2003, addressed the Rotary Club of Marietta Wednesday. Georgia’s last Democratic governor opened his remarks by joking that he didn’t know what to talk about. He went on to analyze the 2026 midterm election results from the night before, and gave his perspective on why the Democratic Party had such banner results across the nation. Barnes chalked up the widespread Democratic victories to national frustrations with President Donald Trump’s administration. “Donald Trump crisscrossed primarily the Southeast and Midwest, and told the crowds that were listening, ‘Vote like I'm on the ballot,’” he said. “And they did.” Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was elected as Georgia’s first Democratic mayor in over two decades since Barnes left office, and became the first Black woman to be elected governor of any state. Barnes expressed optimism about Bottoms’ future as governor, noting she will be Georgia’s first governor since 1966 to not come through the Georgia General Assembly. “I think it's going to be a learning curve for her,”

Powder Springs approves development with 251 apartments, 24 townhomes

The Powder Springs City Council unanimously approved a development with 251 apartments and 24 townhomes during this week's council meeting. The development, proposed by Wood Partners, sits on 14.65 acres at the intersection of Lewis and Oglesby roads, near C.H. James Parkway. Kenneth Wood with Planners and Engineers Collaborative, representing the project, said the developers met with nearby residents to help shape the plan and decreased apartment height. Plans for the development include two separate residential areas. One side of the property is set to hold 251 multi-family units in four four-story buildings, with 5,200 square feet of amenity space, including a pool.

For the apartment units, 384-parking spaces are proposed. Each townhome would have a two-car garage with space for two additional cars in each driveway. Designs for the property, which backs up to the nearby Springbrooke Estates subdivision, includes a 30-foot landscape buffer, as well as a six-foot fence. A natural tree buffer along a creek, which bisects the property, is included. The development requires a homeowners association. The council approved the development with 13 stipulations,

Cobb Commission to consider open container district, drainage and road projects

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will consider expanding the boundaries of an open container district at The Battery Atlanta during its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday morning. According to the agenda item, the existing open container district would be expanded to encompass The Henry, a new mixed-use high-rise development named for baseball legend Henry “Hank” Aaron. The open container district’s expansion would also include the pedestrian bridge connecting The Henry to the rest of the Battery. An open container district allows adults to legally carry and consume alcoholic beverages on public sidewalks, streets and plazas. Goldenrod Companies, one of the developers involved in the project, requested the open container district be expanded to include The Henry to benefit businesses and restaurants that will occupy parts of the building, and to connect it with the wider offerings of the Battery. The item is on the consent agenda. Contracts for drainage and road improvements In other business, the board is set to award a series of contracts for drainage improvement projects around the county. The first agreement would be with Kennesaw-based Advanced Sports Construction LLC for drainage system repairs on Wynford Commons, located near Villa Rica Road near Marietta. According to the
