Here is a link to a few questions and answers about the topic of Vinings becoming a new city.

The Vinings Homeowners Association has set up a public meeting for October 16th to discuss whether or not to start the process of becoming a city.

Back in December of last year I spoke about the new mixed use development near Marietta Square that had just passed through the Marietta City Council. Well now it looks like the old Clay Homes site will soon begin redevelopment.

The new Marietta mixed use development will be called Meeting Park. It’s now going to ba a $112 million project and could break ground as soon as next month. Included within Meeting Park will be 166 condos, 32 townhomes, and 9 single family homes. In addition to the residential portion Meeting Park will boast 78,000 square feet of retail and office space, lots of greenspace and a central park.

Prices in Meeting Park are estimated to start in the $200,000’s and go as high as the $600,000’s.
