Planning for Mableton Day 2015 is under way! The next Community Meeting will be held at the Mable House Arts Center on Tuesday, March 17 at 7pm. Each committee will report its progress. Organizations competing for the Community Spirit prizes will be there for orientation and volunteer opportunities will be explained.  

Mableton Day is Saturday, May 16th at the Mable House Complex. The day begins with the Mableton 5K and Mableton Jr. Fun Run, and continues with live entertainment, classic cars, vendors, arts and crafts, kids' corner and more!  Fun for the whole family right here at home. 

Want to know more?  Want to get involved?  Contact the Mableton Day team via email. Mableton Day is produced by the Mableton Day Coalition, a joint effort of MIC, the South Cobb Arts Alliance and the Amateur Advocate Association.

As part of the work to "brand" and then market South Cobb, residents and non-residents have been completing an online survey about the area.  The purpose of the survey is to help build the appropriate message and image for South Cobb. 

To further engage the community, the South Cobb Development Authority and Cobb County will host a Community Engagement Party on March 19th from 5:30 to 8:30pm at the South Cobb Community Center.  Enjoy complimentary food and drink, meet your neighbors and provide feedback to community partners. RSVP by March 18 by calling 770-944-7005. Click here for all the details.  

To ensure residents are more knowledgeable about zoning and other community

development matters, District 4 Commissioner Lisa Cupid will host monthly meetings from 6 to 7pm on Wednesdays in various locations around South Cobb.  The March meeting in Mableton will be Wednesday, March 25th at the South Cobb Community Center at 620 Lions Club Drive. 

MIC especially encourages residents on Old Alabama Road near New Harvest Baptist Church to attend this meeting.  The application for Z-86 is still pending and your input is very important.  Even if you've already attended neighborhood meetings or signed the petition, please plan to attend the Commissioner's community meeting.  Questions about this zoning case?  Please contact Sonya Wheatley, a member of MIC's Zoning Committee.

State Senator Horacena Tate will host a Town Hall in Mableton on Thursday, April 2nd at 7pm at the South Cobb Community Center at 620 Lions Club Drive.  Senator Tate's district is centered in Fulton County, but also includes the eastern portions of Mableton and Austell.

Thanks to our hardy January volunteers!

9:00am. We will meet at the Westside Bank at Floyd and Nickajack Roads. Please park in the area closest to Nickajack Road.

With the first phase of the Floyd Road improvement project complete, we have returned to the segment between the Post Office and the old Rite Aid store where Floyd and Hicks Roads intersect.  With the road widening and traffic islands, it's a bigger job than before, so your help will be greatly appreciated.  We had a great turnout in January and hope to be as fortunate this time.
