The East Cobb Cityhood Committee is hosting our third virtual town hall to provide information to the residents of East Cobb. People who live within the boundary of the proposed new city are invited to attend.
This will be a live session with Brian Johnson, City Manager of Peachtree Corners, hosted by the East Cobb Cityhood Committee. Brian L. Johnson became the City Manager of Peachtree Corners, Georgia on November 21, 2016. As City Manager, he is the Chief Executive Officer of the City and is responsible to the Mayor and City Council for the management of all city departments and of all city affairs.
Please, register in advance to reserve a spot in the virtual town hall. You can submit questions about cityhood during the registration process. There will also be an opportunity to submit questions during the live session.
Date: August 25, 2021
Time: 6:30pm ET

If you are not available at this date and time, you will be able to view the recording of this webinar. It will be posted shortly after the live session on the website.
Those previous town halls featured Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood and State Reps. Matt Dollar and Sharon Cooper, East Cobb Republicans who are co-sponsors of the cityhood bill to be taken up in the 2022 session of the Georgia legislature.
That bill, if approved, would call for a November 2022 referendum to establish a City of East Cobb of 55K along mainly the Johnson Ferry Road corridor.
In late June the East Cobb Cityhood group said it wanted to add transportation to the proposed services, along with zoning and planning, code enforcement and parks and recreation.
A financial feasibility study is expected to be completed by Nov. 1.

I called Matt Dollar’s office with a concern a few months back. Crickets. I don’t want anything he has his hands in. He doesn’t care about his constituents.
Bigger and bigger. That’s what happens with all govts. They get bigger and bigger.
