Kennesaw council approves purchase of former public library at 2250 Lewis Street
Summary
The Kennesaw City Council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing purchase of the former Kennesaw Public Library at 2250 Lewis Street from Cobb County and approved a third amendment to the purchase-and-sale agreement after months of negotiation.
Kennesaw City Council on Monday approved a resolution authorizing the city to purchase the former Kennesaw Public Library building at 2250 Lewis Street from Cobb County and directed the mayor to sign a third amendment to the purchase-and-sale agreement.
A city staff presenter said negotiations with Cobb County stretched over “several months” and that the parties had "come to the definitive price point" for the sale. The council moved to approve the resolution, and the mayor called for a raising of hands; the motion carried on a unanimous vote of five in favor, none opposed.
Councilors did not discuss the purchase price in the meeting record provided; the staff presenter framed the vote as the product of extended negotiations rather than a new proposal. The resolution authorizes the mayor to execute the third amendment to the purchase-and-sale agreement and completes the council’s formal approval step.
The council did not debate attendant uses or redevelopment plans during the public portion of the meeting; further implementation steps and any timeline for reuse were not discussed on the record.
The council adjourned to an executive session later in the evening for land and legal matters and returned to ratify actions taken in closed session.
