What MIC Does

2024 was a another remarkable year. Mableton continued experiencing unprecedented growth and development; exemplified by new housing starts, the influx of new businesses, continued construction of the Chattahoochee River Greenway Trail, and more. While much work remains to be done, Mableton is emerging as a shining community on the hill, with killer views of the Atlanta skyline.

Communication – MIC wants to connect Mableton! We manage the Mableton Community Facebook Group with thousands of members and lots of conversation! We also present MIC’s activities through our Facebook page and this website, as well as provide a free monthly newsletter. Community meetings and participation in community events give us the opportunity to meet you in person or virtually. For more information, contact Linda Pharr.

Education – Education is critical to our community and MIC is working with residents, faith leaders, nonprofits, the school board, and the business community to support improvement in our schools. Our primary objective is to identify and spotlight the positive aspects of education in Mableton. If you’d like to join this effort, contact Brandeis Thompson.

Parks – MIC’s advocacy for increased park space in our community has contributed to two new parks: the Mableton Town Square and Discovery Park. MIC has also worked with county officials to bring improvements to many existing Mableton parks and trails. Additionally, we have been working with Cobb County and the Trust for Public Land on the creation of the Chattahoochee Riverlands Greenway Trail (www.chattahoocheeriverlands.com), which is completing Phase 1 of construction soon.  For more information, contact Demetrius Lockett.

Public Relations — We are working to promote Mableton and bring more attention to our community and to MIC. We partner with other community organizations, businesses, and churches to bring virtual and in-person events to our community. For more information, contact Linda Pharr.

Zoning – MIC’s Zoning Committee analyzes every application filed within the unincorporated 30126 zip code and works with the applicants, county staff and the Board of Commissioners to find the best result for Mableton. With the perspective that development can be positive and that redevelopment is critically needed, MIC collects community feedback, delves into the details, and then speaks for our community.
