Cobb County budget creates stormwater utility fund to address drainage and flooding
Summary
County leaders said the adopted budget stands up a new stormwater utility fund intended to tackle drainage infrastructure and flooding; funding amounts and implementation timing were not specified in the transcript.
The adopted budget includes a new stormwater utility fund, the lawmaker said, to pay for drainage infrastructure and reduce flooding in the county.
"We are standing up a new stormwater utility fund to tackle drainage infrastructure and flooding," the lawmaker said. The transcript did not include a dollar amount earmarked for the fund or a schedule for when projects would begin; those details were directed to the full budget documents on the county website.
Officials framed the fund as part of a broader investment in infrastructure and public resilience rather than a short-term repair program.
