Northeast Cobb SPLOST IV Project List

A detailed look at proposed construction and maintenance work before Cobb voters in the March 2013 referendum.

While the big-ticket items on the March 2013 Cobb Education SPLOST referendum have been getting most of the attention, every school in the Cobb County School District is slated for improvements. 

The Cobb Board of Education called for the referendum earlier this month and set a date for the vote on March 19, 2013.

What follows is a detailed look at what each school in Northeast Cobb -- ZIP code 30066 -- would be getting if Cobb voters approve the $717 million extension of the one-cent SPLOST, which would begin collection for five years starting in January 2014.
