Cobb approves $10 million bonds for new Six Flags district

The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to issue $10 million in South Cobb Redevelopment Authority revenue bonds for the new Six Flags Special Services Tax District.

Baird & Company was the lowest bidder.

Property owners within the district will be assessed an additional 3.5 mills to pay for the annual debt service of the revenue bonds.
