​Bob Callan Trail extension & Trailhead Complete

Picture
Picture
The Cumberland Community Improvement District and Cobb County announced the completion of  the Bob Callan Trail. With the final extension and trailhead, the popular trail is four miles long. 

The extension starts at Interstate North Parkway and Cumberland Parkway. It runs up Interstate North Parkway to Windy Hill Road. At that point, Interstate North Parkway becomes Bentley Road.

​The trailhead is located on the northeast corner of Windy Hill and Bentley. Note: Where the trail crosses Windy Hill Road, it's necessary to use the pedestrian crossing, since the route doesn't involve a tunnel. The trailhead has a workout area, granite chairs, and bike share. Read more about the Bob Callan Trail on the CCID website.

Neighborhoods Raise
​Concerns About Proposed Code Changes

Picture
There was a lot to digest on this issue, which involved proposed amendments to Chapter 134 of the Cobb zoning code, particularly those pertaining to single-family homes. We suggest you see our code amendment page on this subject, where you'll find much more information.

Wheeler ACT scores
#1 in Cobb County and #2 in Georgia

Picture
Kudos to Wheeler High School students and teachers. Wheeler's average composite score was 28.5. Among traditional high schools in Georgia, it was the top score.

​The Space Shop Storage Opens
​At The Corner Of Delk And Terrell Mill

Picture
The building is designed to look like attractive townhomes to complement the nearby residential area. Self-storage facilities generate very little traffic, and there will be heavy landscaping with new and existing trees to screen the facility and beautify the frontage. The PFCA has a webpage about the development of this property and how the storage company worked with the community to create a distinctive building. For information on renting storage space, see the The Space Shop website for this location. 







data center proposal for delk at I-75 is tabled

Picture
Picture
​On July 8th, the Marietta City Council voted to table the application for a data center at 1155 Powers Ferry Place near Delk Road and I-75. It is to be taken up again at the next regular City Council meeting, which is Wednesday, August 12th at 7:00 PM. Location: City Council Chambers, City Hall, 205 Lawrence Street. Marietta 30060.

The proposal is to convert part of the Prime Storage warehouse at 1155 Powers Ferry Place into an 18-megawatt data center. This would be a moderate size facility designated as “mission critical” to deliver the low-latency response that hospitals, emergency services, and public safety need.
​
The Marietta City Council wants more detailed information on:
  • Need for low-latency
  • Noise mitigation
  • Water use
  • Electricity use
  • Backup power
  • Health & Safety
