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

Cobb advances application for Atlanta Road apartment complex

A zoning application to transform a former Pilot truck stop into a 249-unit apartment complex in Vinings has advanced to the Board of Commissioners. During its zoning hearing Tuesday, the Cobb Planning Commission unanimously voted to advance developer Flournoy Development Group’s application to the Board of Commissioners without a recommendation following concerns raised about the proposed complex’s potential traffic impact. The application proposes rezoning a 3.79-acre site just off I-285 to construct a five-story apartment complex. The site, located at 4600 Atlanta Road, just off the northbound exit of I-285, in Vinings, was the former site of a Pilot truck stop and is currently owned by the county, according to Kevin Moore, an attorney representing Flournoy. The proposed building would have 288,000 square feet of residential space, according to county documents. Floor plans were not provided in Flournoy’s application, and it is unclear what the average square footage of each unit will be. According to a stipulation letter from Moore to county zoning staff, the proposed building will be four stories tall along the side facing Atlanta Road, while the side facing I-285 will be five stories tall. “(Flournoy Development Group) are a known player, a known developer, in this

Mableton to consider public safety tax relief program for seniors, eligible residents

The Mableton City Council announced Friday it will consider passing a tax relief program for seniors and residents facing financial hardship aimed at mitigating the effects of property tax assessments for the Public Safety Special Service District. The program will be discussed during the council’s work session and regularly scheduled meeting Monday. In December 2025, Mableton approved a citywide public safety special service tax district, which allows the city to levy a tax for public safety services and pay for the city’s new police department, according to previous reporting by the Marietta Daily Journal. The tax is expected to collect around $21 million. Georgia law calculates ad valorem taxes on 40% of a property’s fair market value, multiplied by the millage rate. The city approved a 4.5 mill rate in July and the tax is due Dec. 1. However, residents expressed concerns that the new tax could adversely impact seniors, people living on fixed incomes and people facing financial hardship. The tax relief program is an attempt by the city to address those concerns. The program would allow eligible residents to request flexible payment plans and penalty relief from late payments, according to a news release the city of Mableton
