Cobb parking deck fund needs $500K

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners voted last week to transfer $500,000 to the new parking deck fund to prevent a deficit.

This money comes from the general fund.

The expectation was that this fund would be self-funded with revenue from parking fees paid by county employees and visitors to the Marietta Square, according to Jim Pehrson, director of the Office of Finance and Economic Development, in a Sept. 22 memo.
