The Cobb County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on April 28, 2026, which included presentations recognizing youth commission graduates and community achievements. A significant portion of the meeting focused on public hearings and discussions related to the county's comprehensive plan update and the 2028 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) renewal. The board reviewed and approved contracts related to transportation infrastructure projects, including a contract with Advanced Sports Construction LLC and Hogan Construction Group LLC for various county transportation improvements. The SPLOST renewal project list, totaling just under $800 million after reductions from an initial $1.6 billion, was discussed and approved to move forward to a referendum, with some debate over project inclusions and funding allocations. Public comments addressed concerns about pedestrian safety, transportation infrastructure, housing affordability, and voting precinct inequities. The meeting also included updates on community events and initiatives, emphasizing ongoing community engagement and infrastructure development.
