Invitation to Rosewood
Goat Farm Open House on September 10, 2016!

See what your money can buy with Cobb County Park Bond funding! Preserve 50 acres of countryside in the midst of subdivision saturation. Rosewood Farm was previously recommended for purchase twice by the appointed 2006 and 2008 Cobb County Park Bond Citizen Advisory Committee and it is under consideration again in 2016!

Save the Date!

Here's the petition to sign for a new rezoning located right next to the beautiful 50-acre Ebenezer Road Park Bond 2008 property (not yet purchased). According to Zoning code, Ebenezer Road does not meet the minimum road requirements to allow RSL rezoning of this property.
Update: The Planning Commission heard the case on August 2. However, the Board of Commissioners has the final say. The case will be heard on Sept. 20 at 9:00am 100 Cherokee Street near the Marietta Square.

Read the latest MDJ Letter to the Editor, How Commissioners Can Fulfill the Voter Referendum on Parks:  "...Before July 26, 2016, the board could have funded both the $40 million 2008 Park Bond and the $400 million Braves Stadium Bond with the 0.33 mills property tax rate in the Debt Service Fund. But now the Debt Service Fund is in trouble...."  Read more here
