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.

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.

Water releases planned as drought conditions continue in metro Atlanta

Colder temperatures are here in Georgia, and while many might welcome the change from steamy summer days to chilly winter mornings, what the Southeast really needs is rain. The state of Georgia has been under drought conditions this year, despite some smaller periods of heavy rainfall, and it has caused the water levels in the state's reservoirs to drop significantly. Atlanta has received 35.3 inches of rain so far this year, down significantly from the 30-year average, according to the National Weather Service. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division declared a statewide drought response level 1 in April, meaning utilities were required to warn residents about the impacts of drought and ways to mitigate them. Now, state officials are taking the next step to keep Atlanta's water system moving. Army Corps to limit reservoir releases The Army Corps of Engineers manages and operates Buford Dam , the dam at the southern end of Lake Lanier, a massive reservoir about an hour north of Atlanta. The Dam and lake are fed by the Chattahoochee River, and the river continues to flow on the south side of the dam all the way down to Florida. When water levels are low in the reservoir,

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
