Cobb County government has pushed back two groundbreakings of new facilities in the Northeast Cobb area that were to have taken place this week, “due to unforeseen circumstances.”
Groundbreaking for a new Gritters Library building will now take place on Tuesday, Dec. 7, starting at 2 p.m. (880 Shaw Park Road). You can RSVP by emailing Dinah.Bonesteel@cobbcounty.org.
And the groundbreaking for a newly created Precinct 6 of the Cobb Police Department has been rescheduled for Monday, Dec. 13, also at 2 p.m. (2640 Gordy Parkway), adjacent to the Mountain View Aquatic Center.
Cobb commissioners approved both projects recently with funding from the 2016 SPLOST.
The new Gritters branch will be located next to the current building that opened in 1973 at the entrance to Shaw Park. The cost is $6.8 million, with commissioners finalizing the project in August with a $1.9 million grant from the Georgia Public Library Service.
In November, commissioners approved the $5 million Precinct 6 facility, which initially will house several specialized units of Cobb Police and will not have a patrol zone.
