If you haven't been out to Paces Mill lately, August is the perfect time to go! Thanks to the New Day Palisades initiative, the park has seen real improvements, including resurfaced and expanded parking and better vehicular flow and access throughout. The result is a smoother, more comfortable experience from the moment you pull in.

The options are endless, and it's all right here in Cumberland along the Chattahoochee. 🌿

We are so grateful to have Genuine Parts Company in our corner for the Cumberland Art Festival, and Renay Blumenthal, Senior Director of Corporate Giving and Community Relations, captures exactly why this partnership means so much.

We're excited to help launch what we believe will become a signature event for the region and look forward to welcoming thousands of residents and visitors this October."

Join us on October 17-18 at Galleria on the Park presented by Genuine Parts Company. We'll see you there. 🎨

The Chattahoochee River runs right through Cumberland, and it's one of the district's most underappreciated assets this time of year.

Paces Mill offers direct river access for fishing, kayaking and trail walking, along with Thursday morning Wellness on the River sessions in partnership with YMCA Metro Atlanta. The recent New Day Palisades improvements have made the park more accessible and comfortable than ever, and it's all a short drive from the heart of the district.

For those looking to stay out of the sun altogether, The Battery Atlanta and Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre have you covered with shade, great food and a full lineup of programming through the end of summer.

Georgia Power's investment in the New Day Palisades vision is bringing meaningful change to Paces Mill and the broader Cumberland community. Their investment is focused on expanding public access, improving environmental stewardship and enhancing recreation along the river.

This is a meaningful step forward for the district and the community. Read the full article at https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2026/07/06/georgia-power-investing-access-chattahoochee.html

The Cobb Board of Commissioners has approved the 2028 SPLOST Renewal project list, building on a funding program that has driven critical infrastructure investment across the county for three decades. SPLOST is a one-percent sales tax that supports major projects including transportation improvements, parks, libraries, and public facilities. The approved list reflects priorities gathered through extensive community engagement and public survey feedback earlier this year.
