Cobb PARKS and the Mableton Improvement Coalition are seeking comments about development of the Mableton Square from 2 to 6 p.m. Oct. 12.

All ideas and input are welcome as Cobb PARKS staff members collect ideas and answer questions along with MIC’s Parks Committee.

The Square is part of the master plan for Mableton’s historic center on Church Street next to Mableton Elementary School.

Constructed with Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax funding, the Mableton Square is larger than the original design, giving opportunity for uses that were not envisioned during the planning stages.

While there is no funding for construction right now, MIC organizers say funding cannot be sought from the county without a plan that lays out what is wanted by Mableton residents.

Bring a chair or a picnic blanket and enjoy a late lunch or dinner on the Square from the Real Mexican Vittles food tent.

Parking at the Square is limited.
