From the Henssler Financial Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia. Today is Monday, October 30th and I'm Keith Ippolito.
Residents in Smyrna offered feedback at an open house regarding the 2024 Cobb transit tax referendum, which aims to fund transportation projects through a 1% sales tax. The Cobb Department of Transportation has developed two proposals: a 30-year plan expected to collect $10.9 billion and a 10-year plan with $2.8 billion in projected revenue. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid supports the 30-year option. Attendees at the meeting favored expanding high-capacity transit and microtransit within Cobb, emphasizing connections within the county over connections to external locations like MARTA or the airport. Microtransit received positive feedback, especially for serving senior populations. Some residents expressed cautious support for the transit tax, citing past disappointments with similar measures, but stressed the importance of citizen input in shaping the plan.
