TOWN CENTER — Residents will have a chance Tuesday to speak their minds about a land swap between Cobb County and a developer that would revive a 50-acre, mixed-use project near Kennesaw State University.
The Cobb Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 100 Cherokee St. about the abandonment of county property. The county intends to declare that some of its rights-of-way near KSU is no longer needed and will swap that property with developer Woody Snell of TV Holdings LLC.
County rights-of-way along Hidden Forest Court, Grace Avenue and Truth Avenue, all of which are off of Big Shanty Road and near Interstate 575, are no longer needed because the subdivision once located on those streets is no longer standing. Those homes were purchased by the developer, said Rob Hosack, director of the county’s Community Development Agency.
The deal includes 2.21 acres of right-of-way owned by the developer near Big Shanty Road for 6.15 acres of unused county land. The developer has also paid $165,985 to the county, reimbursing expenses for improvements to Big Shanty Road paid for with SPLOST and another $153,002 to reimburse the amount spent acquiring property for the Noonday Creek Trail, which will ultimately connect to the development.
