The Cobb County Board of Commissioners recently approved by a 5-0 vote the “JOSH” Master Plan for the Johnson Ferry/Shallowford area of East Cobb.
While this guideline is for future development in the area, there is no current funding for major changes to the area, according to a county statement.
This initiative was started several years ago by Cobb District 2 Commissioner Bob Ott who said he realized there was a desire by residents in the area to come up with a plan for future development, the statement added.
The plan included an extensive public engagement process with several community meetings, a survey, virtual engagement and opportunities for public review of the draft plan document.
