U.S. awards $81K grant for Dobbins study plan

The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded an $81,000 grant for the Joint Land Use Study implementation at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta.

The grant requires a 10 percent local match, resulting in Cobb County’s contribution of $9,000, according to a county statement.

Matrix Design Group has been awarded the contract to perform the work associated with this grant.

The study’s goals are to reduce potential conflicts between Dobbins and surrounding areas while accommodating new growth and economic development, sustaining economic vitality and protecting the public’s health and safety without compromising the operational missions of Dobbins.
