1. A new Veterans Affairs clinic has opened in Marietta. The 64,000-square-foot facility is the largest in the county. There are now four Veterans Affairs clinics within Cobb County — one in West Cobb off Dallas Highway, one in South Cobb in Smyrna, one in East Cobb off Roswell Road, and the newest one in Marietta. The new clinic offers a variety of medical services such as dental, eye, prosthetics, audiology, and occupational therapy. (Subscription: AJC.com)
2. The development converting the GTC Cobb Park 12 Cinema is proposing a new standalone restaurant at the site. The current plan in East Cobb includes a self-storage facility on the property. The Stein Investment Group has filed a plan to amend the project with the Cobb Zoning Office to include the new restaurant idea. The proposal's hearing will be next week on Tuesday. (East Cobb News)
3. The Cobb County School District is considering disciplinary action against a former Campbell High student. The student was allegedly found with a vape pen containing THC in a school bathroom last year. The student's expulsion has been overturned by the state and the student has since earned a GED diploma. The student has also moved out of Cobb County. (Subscription: AJC.com)
