December Coffee and Conversation

By Holt Road Alliance

Neighbors met at Marietta Coffee Company again on December 1, 2023 to discuss present state, recent actions, and proposed next steps.

Present State

Recent Actions

Next Steps

  • Identify a name for the group (Holt Road Alliance!)
  • Meeting with Cobb DOT to discuss ongoing projects around the Holt Road corridor.
  • Explore viability of community outreach events, such as:
    • Sponsoring a Walk To School day with the Wheeler and Eastvalley PTA, or similar. Potentially walking from the schools to the Sewell Mill Library as an alternative.
    • Performing a walk audit.
  • Incorporation of HRA as a 501c3 organization to enable sponsorship of things such as Adopt-a-mile, and to enable private fundraising for small beautification projects, and HRA-branded merchandise for community outreach.
  • Commuinication improvements - move away from email, and to something better suited for the task (such as the HRA Facebook Group.
    • Acknowleging that Facebook isn’t the ideal answer to this problem, but there is existing community involvement with some unrelated groups of neighbors, such as Stronger East Marietta.
