Johnson Ferry-Shallowford community meetings continue Monday

Johnson Ferry-Shallowford community meetings

If you missed the first of the Johnson Ferry-Shallowford community meetings on planning and development that was held last month, there are two more opportunities to attend and to take park in the “small area plan” concept that is seeking citizen input.

The next meeting takes place Monday from 7-9 p.m. at Chestnut Ridge Christian Church (2663 Johnson Ferry Road), and it’s being conducted by Cobb County Government officials, including staff from community development, DOT, stormwater management, parks and recreation and others.

Here’s a summary of the first “JOSH” meeting that took place last month, with a county-provided photo above showing the small-group focus of the event.

Monday’s workshop will be formatted the same way, as a chance for the public to gain information and offer feedback about the future of the “JOSH” corridor.

Here’s a link to the full presentation from the first meeting, and the county also has set up a crowdsourcing application for citizens to offer their feedback at any time.

The bottom of the main JOSH page also has more links to individual topics related to the small area plan project, including community boundaries, facilities, land use and planning, traffic and public amenities.

All of the input will be factored into a concept master plan and other recommendations by county staff.

If you can’t attend Monday, there will be a final opportunity on Monday, May 8, also from 7-9 at the Chestnut Ridge church.
