Livable Center Initiatives (LCI)
Mableton Design Charette: In June of 2010, Cobb County hired a consultant to develop a new zoning framework for the Historic Mableton LCI area. The community was invited to participate in a week long planning session to re-envision downtown Mableton from June 15-19th.

The Historic Mableton LCI is an effort to revitalize the old town area by promoting redevelopment and encouraging the creation of multi-generational communities. This is an area originally bounded by Clay Road, Floyd Road, Veterans Memorial Highway and Daniel Street extended south along property lines that follow the historic street grid lines south to Veterans Memorial. In 2008, an Atlanta Regional Commission-hosted charrette studied 58 acres north of Clay Road surrounding the post office, and that area was added to the original LCI district in the Cobb County Five-year LCI Update.
For more information about the Historic Mableton LCI, contact Dana Johnson, Cobb County's Planning Director.
The Veterans Memorial Livable Centers Initiative is a joint effort between the City of Atlanta Bureau of Planning and the Cobb County Department of Transportation. The Livable Centers Initiative grant covers the Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and Veterans Memorial Highway corridor. The purpose of the study is to develop strategies to encourage redevelopment into vibrant mixed-use centers; to strengthen existing industrial uses; to provide opportunities for housing, services, amenities and jobs; to improve mobility within the corridor and to minimize potential land use conflict with industrial uses and truck traffic..

The draft final report has been released and will soon be considered by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. The recommendations in the study are wide-ranging – from trails along the River to traffic lights on Veterans Memorial at Buckner Road and Riverview Road. To see the Study, CLICK HERE.
