A homebuilding legend looks back on five decades in Cobb County

EAST COBB — When John Wieland first visited Cobb County in the 1970s, there was little more than farmland crisscrossed by two-lane country roads. The now-renowned homebuilder spoke during a Thursday Cobb Chamber meeting at the Indian Hills County Club, where he reflected on his career building numerous subdivisions in east Cobb and beyond. A half-century after he first came to the county, Wieland said he’s enjoyed success thanks to his commitment to quality and the strength of the county’s leaders and community. “We found out about Cobb County and it was absolutely fantastic,” Wieland said. A career constructing a community Wieland said he got into homebuilding for the same reason most other people do — “you’re unemployed.” He moved to Georgia from New York City in the late 1960s armed with an MBA from Harvard University and an entrepreneurial spirit. He first went into business with a business school friend in Carrollton, but his partner soon pushed him out. Wieland then moved to south Atlanta, where he had professional connections, and founded his own homebuilding business, John Wieland Homes, in 1970. His first encounter with Cobb County came a few years later when a mortgage lender he frequently worked

Woodstock’s Noonday Creek Trail extension to open Saturday

The Noonday Creek Trail Extension linking Woodstock to Cobb County will officially open to the public on Saturday, the city of Woodstock announced. The new trail segment extends Woodstock's existing Noonday Creek Trail south by 1.5 miles, connecting the trailhead near the Woodstock Arts Event Green to Noonday Park in Cobb County. Woodstock and Cherokee County’s trail system is now connected to the one in Cobb County, where officials are planning to eventually connect the Noonday Creek Trail to the Silver Comet Trail, one of the largest paved trails in the United States. "This project has been nearly a decade in the making, and we're thrilled to celebrate its completion," Mayor Michael Caldwell said in a statement. "The Noonday Creek Trail Extension is much more than a recreational amenity. It strengthens regional connectivity, expands transportation options, and creates new opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the natural beauty of our community and beyond." Woodstock officials broke ground on the project in December 2023 with representatives from Cherokee County, Cobb County, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Georgia Department of Transportation. Part of the trail connection runs under Highway 92. The project received funding support from the Georgia Department of

Cook steps down at Osborne

After three years in the position, Derek Cook stepped down as Osborne’s football coach. The longtime Cobb County coach went 3-27 during his tenure with the program, including a 1-9 record this season. While the number of wins may not have been to his liking, Cook said appreciated his time at Osborne and the chance to build the relationships with his players. “I’m thankful to be the head coach at Osborne,” Cook said. “I thank (principal) Dr. (Troy) Jones for the opportunity, and I can’t say enough about the young men and the different challenges they overcame. I felt like we had a great coaching staff, and it was just unfortunate we didn’t produce more victories.” The Osborne job was Cook’s third head-coaching position within the county. He started with two years at South Cobb, where he went 9-12 from 2006-07, then made his mark in building Kell into a perennial postseason contender. In Cook’s season with the Longhorns, he went 89-23. During that stretch, Kell made the postseason all nine seasons, won four region championships and made the quarterfinals four times, with two trips to the state semifinals. Cook, whose career record is 101-62, said he hopes to get

Longhorns get big test with Houston County

Friday’s first-round Class AAAAAA playoff matchup will pit Kell’s depth against Houston County’s star quality. The Bears (5-5) feature Colorado State-committed running back Austin Stinson, who has rushed for 1,727 yards and 24 touchdowns, and highly recruited wide receiver Jeffery Thomas, who has 979 yards and 10 touchdowns on 72 receptions. “They have a really special running back and a big offensive line,” said Kell coach Bobby May. “For us, we need to stop their best players and take away what they do best. There are still some other players who can make plays, but we feel like if we can make them get to their third option, we’ll feel really confident.” The Longhorns (8-2) counter with Georgia Tech commit Moonie Gipson at running back, who is nearing 100% after rehabbing the ankle injury he suffered in last season's playoffs. Gipson has 612 yards and 11 touchdowns, but the Longhorns also have two other ballcarriers with more than 400 yards rushing this season. Senior wide receiver Brock Burrus has committed to West Virginia and has a 1,000-yard season, but junior quarterback Boston Pierce, Cobb County's leading passer, has completed passes to 10 different receivers. Burrus averages 27.5 yards a reception

Traffic, density concerns lead Mableton to reject 90-home development

This week, the Mableton City Council denied a rezoning request for a 90-home subdivision. The request from David Pearson Communities sought to rezone 23.12 mostly wooded acres at the intersection of Old Alabama, Cardell and Maxham roads for a single-family development. The council denied the application with Councilman Ron Davis absent. Planning and zoning staff also recommended the application's denial due to concerns over the development's too-high density and not fitting the future land use plan. According to attorney Kevin Moore, representing the project, the plan went through multiple iterations before coming to the council for final approval, including reducing the initial 110 home proposal, which included townhomes, until it reached the 90 single-family home version and added a pool and clubhouse. He said various road improvements, including a protected crosswalk, were included in the plans due to increased traffic concerns. A September revised letter listing stipulations for the development restricted the number of rental units to no more than 10% of homes at one time. Previously the developer proposed an option for a 100% rental community, which stirred both community and council concerns. An additional stipulation agreed to give public servants, including teachers, first responders and civil servants cost-reducing
