The City of Marietta will hold a ribbon-cutting event for the newly renovated Mill Street Plaza. The event was originally scheduled for an August date, but was postponed due to weather concerns.

The ceremony will take place Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at 4:15 p.m. The plaza is located next to the Mill Street Parking Lot at 44 Mill St, Marietta, GA 30060, directly across the railroad tracks from the Marietta History Center.

According to the announcement posted on the City of Marietta’s website:

The Mill Street Plaza was recently renovated to include historical panels detailing 1974 train derailment that occurred on the Marietta Square. The Plaza includes an original Glover Machine Works Engine from 1916, new brick pavers, new landscaping, a new roof covering the engine and historical panels.

Immediately following the ribbon cutting, Keep Marietta Beautiful will dedicate a trash receptacle in honor of past Executive Director Joan Ellars. The trash receptacle is located within the Mill Street Plaza.

The City of Marietta is the county seat of Cobb County. The latest estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau puts the population of the city at 60,867 which makes it the largest city in Cobb County by population.
