• GA: Cobb commissioners split 3-2 as microtransit expansion advances (masstransitmag.com) — Kennesaw residents could soon get an Uber-style public microtransit option as Cobb commissioners advanced plans for a new Acworth–Kennesaw pilot zone, including downtown Kennesaw and Kennesaw State University. The service would run weekdays, cost $2.50 per ride, and connect to existing bus routes, though commissioners remain split over costs, equity, and whether voters should ultimately decide the county's transit future.
• Partnerships That Build Progress: Cobb County CIDs (georgiatrend.com) — Major transportation and trail investments around Town Center are reshaping how Kennesaw residents reach Kennesaw State University, Fifth Third Stadium, and nearby parks and CIDs. New roads, expanded trail networks, and planned pedestrian bridges aim to cut congestion, boost walkability, and strengthen links to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Local leaders say these long‑range projects will drive economic growth and quality of life for decades.
• New Georgia news sites draw scrutiny over partisan funding (thecurrentga.org) — Kennesaw gets a brief mention through a Kennesaw State University professor studying so‑called "pink slime" partisan news sites that are now targeting Georgia voters. The piece explains how two new outlets, one right-leaning and one left-leaning, mix republished legitimate stories with undisclosed political messaging. It also details who funds these sites and why researchers say they could confuse voters ahead of the U.S. Senate race.
