Marietta considers new historic district

The Forest Hills neighborhood near the Marietta Square could become the city’s second historic district. The Marietta City Council is expected Wednesday to approve a request from the city’s historic preservation commission to pursue the designation. Some 60 percent of the affected residents would also have to approve the district. The council approved the first historic district on Kennesaw Avenue in 2013.

Marietta has five districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
