Cobb County residents can weigh in on the county’s millage rate at two public hearings on July 17.
The hearings, at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m, will be held before the Board of Commissioners votes on the rate on July 24. Chairman Tim Lee said this week that no millage increase is proposed. He and other commissioners have been soundly criticized for the approximately 16% increase approved last year that helped close a $33 million budget gap.
Most of Cobb’s six cities have also proposed maintaining their current millage rates. Austell has been the anomaly, and is proposing a 28% millage rate increase, that is also set for a vote in July.
The county hearings will be held at the Cobb government building, 100 Cherokee Street in Marietta.
