Here are the top four stories in East Cobb today:

  1. Looking for a new career, but not sure where to start? The East Cobb Public Library is hosting an Adult Job Fair this Saturday. Adults over the age of 18 can meet recruiters from Parkaire Landing and apply, have their resumes professionally reviewed, and take advantage of other available resources. Bring your resume and find the job that's right for you! (Patch)
  2. The Cobb Board of Commissioners was forced to postpone a scheduled work session on stormwater this Tuesday. This was due in part to the length of the regularly scheduled Board of Commissioners meeting. The stormwater work session has been rescheduled to a virtual meeting on Saturday. For more information on viewing the session, visit the link. (East Cobb News)
