Mableton approves installment plan for homeowners struggling to pay new tax

MABLETON — Eligible Mableton homeowners facing financial hardship can pay the city's new public safety tax in installments rather than pay the full amount. The program does not waive tax payment or create exemptions, but allows participants to pay in monthly installments through April 5, 2027, alongside any accrued interest, instead of the Dec. 4 due date. The Mableton City Council passed the installment plan Tuesday in a 6-0 vote with Councilman Ron Davis absent. The council created the tax, set at 4.5 mills, a number used to calculate property taxes, to pay for public safety in the city, including payments to Cobb County for police services, two one-year agreements totaling $22.5 million. The city is also using the fund to establish its own police department by June 1. Mayor Michael Owens said the program was developed after the city heard citizens' calls for relief. "The bottom line is this hardship relief program was created because of a need that we know citizens have," he said. The city is unable to waive interest payments because it is mandated by the state. According to Finance Director Karen Ellis, the interest on the deferred payments is 10%. The program is open to

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

Highway 316 will be a construction site in Gwinnett for five more years

Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry had a simple suggestion this week for drivers who use State Route 316 to go to Athens: find a different route for the next few years. GDOT has been gradually turning 316 into a limited access highway for more than a decade, but those efforts are kicking into overdrive now with projects stretching from Lawrenceville to Athens either already under construction or about to get underway in the next few years. The highway is expected to be a construction site in Gwinnett for at least five more years. “Alright so we recommend you go up (Interstate) 85 and take (U.S. Highway) 129 because there’s a little bit of construction going on,” McMurry said during a recent presentation to the Gwinnett Chamber. Chamber members may have laughed at McMurry’s advice, but it may actually be a good to head up 85 to Jefferson and then come south to Athens because 316 will be a big construction zone, at least in Gwinnett, through the beginning of the next decade. Currently, 316 is a limited access highway from Interstate 85 to Buford Drive, as well as at Harbins Road and the eastern terminus of Sugarloaf Parkway.

Gwinnett Sheriff's Office hands out Thanksgiving dinners

Thanksgiving is still two weeks away but Gwinnett families lined up at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville last Friday to go ahead and make sure they had their Turkey Day meals lined up already. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s Keybo Building Bridges and Volunteer Gwinnett to stage the sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Giveaway last week. The annual event is designed to ensure families can get the key basics of a Thanksgiving meal so they will have a dinner to put on the table on Nov. 26. Families who came to the event, which operated on a first come, first served basis, got a frozen turkey as well as sides such as stuffing and vegetables. “Thank you, Gwinnett, GCSO and all our partners who made the Turkey Drive a success,” Taylor said in a statement on social media over the weekend. “We are a blessed community because of you.”
