ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

We are a well-rounded community alive with community spirit, a touch of urban chic and plenty of down-home natural charm.

Smyrna offers lively events for our diverse community, and we are home to equally diverse neighborhoods nestled among lush trees. Our community offers residents and visitors acccess to indoor and outdoor amen�es, from boa�ng on the Cha�ahoochee, to biking, walking, or running along our trails, to baseball at the Ba�ery, or good vibes in our downtown and more.

We are where urban chic meets community sweet.

We work everyday to make the Town Center community a vibrant place to grow a business, raise a family, shop and work, earn a degree, and enjoy the outdoors.

Powder Springs expanding places to live, work, play

Cobb County’s fastest growing city is primed to continue to remain so, with residents and visitors set to see even more reasons to visit and stay in 2023 and beyond.

With approximately 1,500 new dwellings approved or under development, and another 500 residential applications coming before the city for consideration, its leaders are focused on responsibly managing growth while maintaining Powder Springs’ small-town character and quality of life.

Powder Springs’ City Hall and Community Development building closed their doors in 2022 to prepare for mixed-use development that will transform the downtown core. Atlanta-based Novare Group is constructing 226 apartments and almost 5,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space on these sites anchored by Thurman Springs Park. Nearby, the Pineview Trail and trailhead will soon connect Silver Comet Trail users to downtown businesses and new eateries. A redesigned Municipal Court building, meanwhile, will become the future home of City Hall in 2024.

Thurman Springs Park is among the city’s 105 acres of active and passive park land. The downtown destination along with its Hardy Family Automotive Amphitheater will be the site of the third-annual “Bringing the Sea to the Springs” seafood festival this May and a returning Summer Concert Series, as well as multiple events throughout the year.

Business recruitment and retention efforts continue to attract commercial projects like the 20 West Intermodal planning and distribution facility, an investment of $35 million by Native Development that will create up to 200 new jobs within the city. The city is also focused on implementing its land annexation plan and working closely with the state to gain curb cuts on U.S. 278 needed for commercial growth along the major corridor.

A new pavilion was constructed this fall in Powder Springs Park, with future additions including a dog park for both large and small dogs, and a parking lot/farmer’s market area that would have water and electrical outlets that would better allow the park to host special events

A professional skatepark will be built later this year in Silver Comet Linear Park, a project funded by the 2016 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). The skatepark is to have a competition-level certification through World Skate, the governing body for skateboarding.

Powder Springs remains a city in motion, but one that will always welcome residents both old and new. Visit cityofpowdersprings.org and follow us on social media to learn more about how Powder Springs can put a “spring” in your step.
