KENNESAW, GA -- Residents wanting more green space in a bustling part of town will get their wish after the Cobb County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a new park near the corner of Cobb Place Boulevard and Barrett Lakes Boulevard.

The oasis comes after a request by the Town Center Community Improvement District, which will fund the $1.8 million project in its entirety.

The aviation-themed public park will be maintained by the Cobb P.A.R.K.S. Department, which will provide engineering and construction support, the county said.
