Rebecca Lindstrom from 11alive.com reported on the Park Bond 2008 story and interviewed Cobb Parks Coalition members at the Board of Commissioner meeting on April 12, 2016! http://www.11alive.com/…/cobb-county-commission-a…/129695438 (The Park Bond story starts at 2:40)
Cobb citizens voted for the $40 million Park Bond Referendum in 2008 before the Board of Commissioners reallocated those funds into the $400 million Braves stadium in 2014 without funding the Park Bond 2008 Referendum voters approved.
In 2009, the Board had already approved a list of 29 properties to purchase as parkland, and it's time to purchase the remaining properties on the list now because at least 8 of the 29 properties have already been developed, and many more are threatened with development instead of being saved as parks as voters intended in 2008.
April 15, 2016 is the last day to nominate properties to be considered for Park Bond 2008 now in 2016.
