What was initially scheduled as three-day retreat for the Cobb Board of Commissioners in the north Georgia mountains next week instead will take place in Marietta.
Cobb government issued a statement early Thursday afternoon that the retreat will take place next Thursday-Saturday, at the Cobb Senior Wellness Center, 1195 Powder Springs Street, with each session starting at 9 a.m.
The change in venue was chalked up to an unspecified “series of schedule conflicts,” according to the Cobb statement.
Commissioners hold retreats annually to discuss funding, budgeting and other priorities. But they’re usually scheduled in the county, such as the Cobb Civic Center and the Threadmill Complex in Austell.
This retreat had been slated for Blairsville, nearly 100 miles away, from Thursday to Saturday.
The agenda, according to county spokesman Ross Cavitt, remains the same: A discussion of “SPLOST issues, 2020 priorities, and other long-term board initiatives.”
The retreat is open to the public.
