BFCA Adopt-a-mile cleanup
Thanks to everyone who volunteered for the Bells Ferry Road Cleanup on Sunday, March 26! Members of the Bells Ferry Civic Association Board and community members cleaned up the area between the fire station at Maggie Valley north to Hawkins Store Road. At the end of the afternoon, we had 20 bags full of road trash, including a cash register drawer, many vehicle tires, and enough car parts to make a new car!
We'll have quarterly cleanups along our mile that we'll post. Contact us if you'd like to join.
We also encourage you and your group to adopt your own mile. Visit www.keepcobbbeautiful.org or call (770) 528-1135

WANT an education in Zoning BASICS?
Ever wonder why properties are commercial vs. residential? Why some developments have more houses than others? What differentiates one small commercial building from a strip mall? Zoning 101, led by Commissioner JoAnn Birrell, is available for everyone to view and learn.
Watch Zoning 101

We are looking for people to volunteer their time and expertise with the group. We are also looking for people in subdivisions who can act as our communications liaisons to share information with their neighbors. Let us know if you'd like to help.

As Cobb County continues to grow and develop, issues impacting the well-being of area residents are constantly surfacing; issues such as traffic speed and congestion, zoning and development, environmental quality, preservation of open space, crime control and prevention, and neighborhood enhancements. The BFCA is an all-volunteer organization from the Bells Ferry corridor. We work with local legislators, environmental groups, law enforcement officials, residents and neighborhood associations within our area to address these issues head-on as they arise. Individuals are encouraged to actively participate in their communities and the decisions affecting them.
