STORY 1: County reopens Covered Bridge after protective beam hit again



The historic 151-year-old Covered Bridge on Concord Road in Smyrna, Georgia, required repairs after being struck by a rental truck. The Cobb Department of Transportation swiftly repaired the damaged beam, ensuring it was back in working order for rush hour. The driver of the rental truck was cited for disregarding numerous low clearance warnings, and their insurance will cover the repair costs. The covered bridge, built in 1872, is the county's sole remaining covered bridge still in use and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has frequently experienced accidents due to its low clearance.…….Get more stories like this from mdjonline.com





STORY 2: Marietta parents debate book bans at school board meeting



At a recent Marietta school board meeting, parents discussed the controversial directive to remove "sexually explicit material" from schools. This directive had been approved in a previous work session without public comment. During the meeting, eight out of nine individuals who signed up for public comments addressed the directive. Five expressed gratitude for its passage, while three criticized it. The directive was passed with a 5-2 vote, with concerns raised about books' content in school libraries. Supporters argued for protecting students, while opponents emphasized the importance of diverse literature and the First Amendment. The debate reflects ongoing discussions about censorship and education in the community.



STORY 3: Repaving to start at Chattahoochee River trail parking lots



The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is embarking on a project to repave parking lots at four popular river spots: Akers Mill (West Palisades), Powers Island, Columns Drive, and Interstate North (Cochran Shoals). The project aims to address maintenance needs, enhance safety, and will result in temporary closures at each location during construction. Trails will remain open, with access from the Paces Mill unit during parking lot closures. The project, funded by the National Park Service Pavement Preservation Program, includes striping for traffic flow and improved signage, with an estimated completion date in December 2023.............…..(pause)

The young talents from School of Rock West Cobb showcased their skills from June 29 to July 1, including a pre-event performance at The Rave venue in Milwaukee on June 28.



STORY 5: Motorcyclist



A 25-year-old motorcyclist, Jared Burriss, tragically lost his life in a Sunday morning crash near Blackwell Elementary. The incident occurred when Burriss was riding north on Canton Road, and a Hyundai Santa Fe driven by Carlos Ayestas crossed his path at the intersection with Blackwell Road. The collision ejected Burriss from his motorcycle, and despite being transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. The crash is currently under investigation, and authorities are urging anyone with relevant information to contact investigators at 770-499-398.

STORY 2: Cobb approves 90 senior houses amid affordability debate



The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 to approve the construction of 90 new single-family homes for seniors aged 55 and up in southwest Cobb. This decision sparked a debate on housing availability and affordability in the area. Commissioner Sheffield advocated for reducing the number of homes to match the area's character but emphasized the housing shortage. Commissioner Gambrill, who voted against the development, argued that higher density doesn't guarantee affordability, especially for seniors responsible for infrastructure costs. Despite concerns about affordability, Chair Lisa Cupid supported the idea of more senior housing, citing the county's growing senior population.



STORY 3: Smyrna mayoral race heats up

Discovery, is emphasizing the need for a new direction in the city, pointing to concerns over project mismanagement and financial decisions. Notably, he questions the new downtown brewery and park project and the purchase of a church campus without clear funding or plans. Hymes is committed to engaging citizens, highlighting their role in successful projects.

The center, originally established as the Graduate Marietta Student Success Center, offers a range of resources, including counseling, a food pantry, clothing closet, and college and career coaching, to support students and families. Some concerns were raised about potential interruptions to therapy services. School board member Angela Orange and Superintendent Grant Rivera have reassured families that therapeutic services will continue, with adjustments to scheduling to minimize disruptions during instructional time. The funding under consideration is related to orientation programs, not therapy services.



STORY 6: Suspect in social media influencer's death booked into Cobb jail

STORY 8: Commissioners to consider senior housing in southwest Cobb



The Cobb Board of Commissioners is set to consider a proposal for senior housing (age 55 and up) in the southwest part of the county at its zoning meeting on Tuesday. The development, known as Spring Lake Village, would occupy approximately 41 acres on Morris Road, near Hiram Lithia Springs Road. The Cobb Planning Commission previously endorsed the project with the condition that the developer reduces the number of homes from the initial 110 to 62, resulting in a lower density of 1.75 units per acre. Additionally, the board will review a revised site plan for a 49-unit townhome development on Cooper Lake Road.
