COBB - Cobb County Community Development and EDAW, Inc. will conduct their fourth public meeting on Wednesday with residents of southeast Cobb regarding the River Line Master Plan.

The meeting will be conducted at the South Cobb community Center, at 620 Lions Club Drive in Mableton, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The River Line Master Plan addresses land use, preservation, recreation and non-vehicular transportation planning for the area that is bounded to the east by the Chattahoochee River and to the west by Buckner Road, and encompasses eastern portions of Veterans Memorial Highway and southern portions of Oakdale Road.

The Board of Commissioners approved the plan in 2007.

Community Development officials have pointed out that the plan is not a typical master plan because the area is not in an economic slump. The idea behind the plan is to create a definitive character for the area, much like Vinings and Mableton, to create more neighborhoods and attract more businesses.

Some of the desired products of the plan include alternate land use scenarios to manage the area's growth, non-vehicular transportation enhancements, multi-use path and recreational trail connections to expand the county's trail network, potentential new park facilities, preservation of existing historic features and development of recommendations.

Community Development officials will put together a complete proposed plan based on public input and present it to the Board of Commissioners for review. Further information can be found at www.cobbcounty.org under the departments link.
