We’re meeting at 6:30PM at Switzer Library and walking over together to City Hall for the 7PM meeting
(📍 250 Lawrence St NE).
These meetings matter — they’re where real decisions about Marietta’s future get made. Come see it for yourself.

Think the mayor doesn’t affect Marietta schools?
58% of your property taxes go to education.
City Hall decisions shape how strong that funding is — through zoning, redevelopment, and how we grow our tax base. When we build smart, our schools win too.
