🌱 Cobb Executive Women's Luncheon + Barrett Reliever's Phase Three

Hello there, East Cobb. I'm here in your inbox this morning to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny; not as warm. High: 73 Low: 45.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in East Cobb who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our East Cobb Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in East Cobb today:

1. Cobb County Commissioner Monique Sheffield will be the featured speaker at the Cobb Chamber's Cobb Executive Women luncheon. The event will be held on Friday, Oct. 14 at 11:30 a.m. Registration for the luncheon will be open through Oct. 12. Click to register. (Cobb County Courier)
2. The Multifamily Rental Housing Inspection Program has been approved by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. The new code amendment will require landlords to inspect a quarter of multifamily rental property units each year. The inspections are meant to address the growing number of concerns regarding property neglect presented to the board throughout the last year. (11 Alive)
3. Phase three of the South Barrett Reliever has begun. The project will provide drivers with an alternate route through Barrett parkway. Cobb County reports that the project will decrease traffic congestion through the busy corridor by 22 percent during peak hours. Phase three involves building a roadway from the Costco area along with bike lanes and crosswalks. (Cobb County)
