The Cobb County Board of Commissioners has reviewed plans for a Veterans Memorial to be located at a Cobb Parks property on Fairground Road. The board previously approved two Memorandums of Understanding related to the project, one in 2019 and another in 2021.

In other developments concerning Cobb County, enrollment in local schools saw a slight increase of less than 0.1% during the 2022-23 school year compared to the previous year, according to data from the Georgia Department of Education (https://www.gadoe.org/). Total student enrollment reached 115,076 for that period (https://www.gadoe.org/).
