Two debates on the upcoming East Cobb Cityhood referendum have sold out for citizens wishing to attend in person.
The East Cobb Business Association has scheduled a debate for next Tuesday, April 19, at the Olde Towne Athletic Club (4950 Olde Towne Parkway) from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
On May 4, the Rotary Club of East Cobb is organizing a debate at Pope High School (3001 Hembree Road) from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The ECBA is not livestreaming its debate but said a recorded video of the event will be posted on its website.
Blaine Hess of the Rotary Club told East Cobb News that livestreaming plans are in the works but “I am not 100% sure what the logistics are currently” and those will be announced when they’re finalized.
Those are the only debates that have been agreed to by the Committee for East Cobb Cityhood, which is spearheading the Cityhood referendum, and the East Cobb Alliance, which opposes Cityhood.
The Rotary Club sent out a message Tuesday afternoon saying it had reached its capacity limit of 500 people at the Pope auditorium and asked those who had signed up that “if your plans change and you can not make it to the event, please cancel your order so somebody else can come!”
