Groundbreaking for Mableton road improvements set for Thursday

Cobb County officials will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday for roadway improvements along the south Cobb thoroughfare of Floyd Road in Mableton.

Last week Commissioners approved two projects for the road: replacing part of Floyd Road with wider lanes and median from Clay Road to Hicks Road, and sidewalks along a redeveloped part of the road. The projects will cost the county about $495,000.
