WELCOME TO COBB COUNTY

T

he year of 2019 was another successful year for the West Cobb Business Association (WCBA). I’d like to personally thank our many sponsors for investing in our association and businesses throughout the West Cobb community. Because of your generosity, WCBA hosted regular luncheons and networking events, including WCBA 101, Fun Fest, Public Safety Gala, Thursday-morning networking and after hour mingles. In turn, we continued to support the West Cobb community through charitable donations, awards, scholarships and community service. This was only made possible through the dedication of WCBA’s returning members, as well as new additions to our member roster. Thank you!

To continue a tradition of great service and recognition, we are excited to announce the WCBA theme for 2020 - ENGAGE. One of our primary goals in the new year is to assist members as they connect with our vast business network. Doing so will not only benefit individual businesses,

W

elcome to the Marietta Business Association (MBA). As President, I will strive to make sure all members and guests have the opportunity to network in a conducive environment so you can grow your business. It is our job to develop, encourage, and lead small business in the Marietta community.

THE VISION: The MBA Mission Statement promotes civic, social, and business goals through providing a forum to exchange business policies and create good customer relationships all in good faith and integrity. These are direct from the Bylaws.

The YEAR of #LEADERSHIP. Marietta is one of the largest counties in the state of Georgia and is home to many big name businesses (i.e. Home Depot, Atlanta United, Lockheed Martin, Atlanta Braves, etc). As small business owners how do we become leaders in this type of community? When someone wants to buy a house, do they think of you? When another business needs to build employee benefit plans, do they think of you? The MBA does not have to be the largest association in the state, but we do need to be the first choice for small businesses in the area. We do not simply encourage doing business with one another, we exemplify it ourselves. We lead by example.

THE GOAL: We Exist to Support One Another. It’s that simple.

As business leaders and owners, we are pioneers, it’s why we join a business association to begin with. Members become knowledgeable about the community, its drivers, and its resources, so we can create and leverage relationships that drive business collectively. As the association grows, so does its belief in its members, creating a culture where we exist to support one another.

We shop at each other’s businesses and restaurants, we hire services from members, we connect each other with members, we exist to support one another!

but the West Cobb community as a whole. Therefore, if you have contemplated joining the West Cobb Business Association, we invite you to consider how the WCBA can help advance your business, while connecting with other businesses. We had a great luncheon on January 23, 2020, with our very own District 1 Commissioner Keli Gambrill speaking, sponsored by Davis, Pechter & Associates.

Along with the extraordinary leadership team at WCBA, I look forward to investing into our community where we live, shop and play.

Sincerely,

Jason Pendley Jason Pendley 2020 President West Cobb Business Association www.westcobbbusiness.com

Dobbins’ 10,000-foot runway, fuel flow capabilities and new control towers are key national defense and emergency response assets, along with Lockheed’s support, engineering and maintenance facilities that have supplemented responses to national and regional crises.

POWDER SPRINGS HISTORY COMES ALIVE At the Seven Springs Museum, in the recently renovated Bodiford House near the city’s Town Square, the history of Powder Springs comes to life for residents and visitors alike.

community parks and recreational facilities, library, businesses, shopping and employment centers. These scenic trails are 5-K certified for the Peachtree Road Race and offer convenient opportunities for running, biking, walking and sight-seeing around town.

First called Gunpowder Springs by Native Americans -- for the powdery sediment found at seven mineral springs located there -- the site was a rural outpost as early as 1819. With the gold rush of 1828, pioneers came seeking gold and stayed to farm the rich soil. Overnight, the small village grew into a center for commerce and community.

Other favorite annual city events include the National Night Out for community safety, Veterans’ Day Celebration and several 5-K races benefiting charities -- Run for Food, Spring Chicken Run and Reindeer Run.

With folks from every walk of life – then and now – the city of Powder Springs is a vibrant community of kind-hearted, hardworking people – rich in diversity, willing to work together, and proud of our heritage. We invite you to get to know us better.

In step with its history, Powder Springs puts a priority on attracting and retaining business. Located at the center of major transit routes with easy access across Cobb County, Powder Springs is one of the few cities in Georgia with acres of undeveloped land for commercial and industrial use, located near air, rail and intermodal centers.

QUALITY OF LIFE Today, residents and visitors enjoy Powder Springs as a destination for outdoor fun and recreation, just as those seeking the area’s spas and resort life did years ago.

SMYRNA/VININGS

estled in the northwestern suburbs of Atlanta, the Smyrna/Vinings area has quickly become one of Cobb County’s most sought-after communities in which to live.

The Vinings community is located alongside the Chattahoochee, ten miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. Combined with the much larger city of Smyrna, the two are home to roughly 60,000 residents. Widely considered among greater Atlanta’s most beautiful cities, Smyrna is popularly recognized as the “Jonquil City”, named after the thousands of jonquils that flourish in gardens along its streets in the early spring.

In addition to its undisputed natural charm, Smyrna is very much considered a pro-business and service-oriented community. It has been an integral part of Cobb County’s recent growth and development and is recognized as one of Atlanta’s most desirable places to live as a result.

GOVERNMENT Vinings is technically unincorporated, and is therefore under the jurisdiction of Cobb’s County Commission and other public services. As for Smyrna, its residents elect a Mayor and seven Council members, who represent the city’s seven wards. The aforementioned governors are elected to four-year terms and appoint a City Administrator to serve as the City’s Chief Administrative Officer.

SPORTS & RECREATION Though it’s on the smaller side, Vinings is filled with noteworthy sites and attractions, some of the historic sort. The Pace House offers the remains of what was once a 17-bedroom antebellum mansion, first home to the City’s founder, Hardy Pace, and later rebuilt (between 1865-1874) by his son, Solomon Pace. It is now a three-bedroom house and pavilion that accommodates visitors as well as those looking to host a party/ceremony. Vinings is also home to the historic Silver Comet Trail, and the state of the art Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, Atlanta’s premier performance venue. Smyrna is an equally outdoor-driven community, with a sprawling collection of parks, jogging trails, pools, lighted tennis courts, and public golf courses.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

COBB COUNTY FUNDING THE FUTURE THROUGH COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS (CIDS) COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS As early as the 1980s, the leaders of Cobb County implemented the Community Improvement District (CID) concept to address transportation issues in key economic corridors of Cobb County. In Cobb, it is believed that success is best accomplished through a level of capable, progressive local leadership.

CIDs involve participants who voluntarily increase their property taxes to stimulate enhancements such as aesthetic improvements, civic promotion, and long-term property value increases. CIDs also pave the way to state and federal grants. The result is a long-term increase in property and community value through the upfront contribution of tax revenue.

Created through agreements with city and county governments, CIDs have become mainstays in some of Cobb’s affluent communities.

Since the first Georgia CID was established in Cobb County in 1988, another 24 CIDs have been developed in the state—most of them in metro Atlanta.

The results are exceptional: Transportation needs are addressed through inventiveness, superb planning and targeted investments.

16

CUMBERLAND CID (CCID) After the opportunity to establish CIDs was created by the Georgia State Legislature, Cobb was the first county to create one with the inception of the Cumberland Community Improvement District 30 years ago. United in a common goal, commercial property owners in the area formed the CID, serving to increase property values for the County’s central business district. The Cumberland CID holds the distinction of being a regional model and one of the most successful in the state. Thanks to its public-private partnerships, the CCID has leveraged $140 million into more than 2 billion dollars in roads, bridges, streetscapes, bicycle trails and more.

The Cumberland CID is 6.5 square miles in area. The submarket represents 4 percent of Georgia’s total jobs with approximately 90,000 full-time. The district amounts to 5.4 percent of Georgia’s economy and 36 percent of Cobb County’s.

GATEWAY MARIETTA CID The Gateway Marietta CID was founded in June of 2014 and is located in the City of Marietta, primarily along Franklin Road, between South Marietta Parkway

2020 Cobb Guidebook

and Delk Road. The initial goals for the CID are to help the City of Marietta clean the area up through infrastructure and beautification, as well as to form a unified voice for an area that has lacked a vision for decades.

The first major project to locate within the district is the Atlanta United Football Club training facility. The development will be the flagship soccer facility in the Southeast. In the past year, the Gateway Marietta CID completed a landscape project to give a muchneeded facelift to the I-75 and South Marietta Parkway exit ramps.

To learn more, visit gatewaymariettacid.org.

TOWN CENTER COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (TCCID) The Town Center CID (TCCID), a six-square-mile district nestled between the cities of Marietta and Kennesaw, has invested more than $147M in 26 infrastructure and beautification projects over its 20-year history. One of the fastest growing areas in metro Atlanta with more than $1.3 billion in real estate assets, Town Center CID is transforming their traditionally commercial district into a well-balanced destination that seamlessly integrates expansive greenspace, trails and beautiful parks for all to enjoy.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

COBB: A COMMUNITY ON THE RISE The Cobb Chamber’s new brand and new address signify an upward trajectory for this growing business advocacy organization.

By Sharon Mason, President and CEO of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce

home of 35 years and relocate within the Cumberland market.

A New Home

Sharon Mason

The past 24 months have been a time of unprecedented growth for the Cobb Chamber, but also for Cobb County.

In this time frame, the Chamber has successfully advocated for increased economic competitiveness, supported expanded benefits for local entrepreneurs and small businesses, launched an international marketing strategy and industry councils for workforce target industries, recruited nearly 9,000 high quality jobs to the county, collaborated with the county and business leaders to form a transportation & mobility committee, held record-breaking membership campaigns, and created a new outlook for itself through a rebranding process and relocation.

In January 2019, the Cobb Chamber’s building at 240 Interstate North Parkway was put on the market.

By early September, the sale of the building finalized and the Chamber announced its plans to lease 17,517 square feet of office space at 1100 Circle 75 in Cumberland on the full 10th floor. A 120-day construction timeline went into action. The Chamber’s new location at 1100 Circle 75 offers many advantages to the organization. The new office space tells a compelling visual story. With 360-degree views of Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta, many businesses throughout Cobb, and the Atlanta skyline, the Chamber’s new home illustrates its work within the region and its role in bringing landmark projects to the county.

The Cobb Chamber offices span

the entire 10th floor, featuring collaborative workspaces for staff, a bistro-style breakroom, modern office furnishings, and enhanced meeting spaces for members, committees, community partners and economic development prospects. Cumberland CID, Cobb Community Foundation and Development Authority of Cobb County are also part of the Chamber’s 10th floor offices.

Several organizations within the Chamber’s membership invested in the new headquarters with the following room dedications: The Synovus Board Room, the Wellstar Community Room, the Georgia Power Conference Room, the Cobb EMC and Gas South Executive Conference Room, and the Superior Men and Superior Women restrooms sponsored by Superior Plumbing.

The Cobb Chamber has dedicated its entire 10th floor to U.S. Senator Johnny H. Isakson. The Chamber’s previous building was named in honor of Sen. Isakson. Carrying his name in the new location showcases the instrumental leader he has been to the county, state and country through his more than 40 years in public office.

After a successful strategic planning process in 2017, a key piece of feedback was revealed – the Chamber facility needed an update. During the following year, the Chamber formed a committee to reimagine our existing space, tour various headquarters, and conduct a cost benefit analysis. In time, it became clear that the Chamber’s best course of action was to leave its www.eastcobbba.com│www.mariettabusiness.biz│www.westcobbbusiness.com

Ribbon Cutting of new Cobb Chamber headquarters

A New Brand The Cobb Chamber’s new home at 1100 Circle 75 brings new opportunities, but the new address also adequately reflects the new Cobb Chamber brand.

In December, the Chamber launched a new logo featuring a bold symbol that tells an important story. The symbol is a capital C that also calls to mind a round table with an open seat, inviting member collaboration and input. As an organization, the Chamber strives to be as inviting as possible, encouraging its members to bring their unique voices to the organization, giving them a seat at the table.

The Chamber’s new headquarters and brand help tell a bold story and champion the Chamber’s work to support the power of opportunity, forging connections, community partnerships, and creating the conditions for healthy commerce. With Cobb County as a central hub for talent and business success, the Chamber works to empower and equip professionals who are seeking more.

The focus of our work is our members, their successes, and their stories, and our new brand celebrates our members, their ambition and their work to make Cobb County a remarkable place to build a career, grow a business and pursue a dream.

2020 Outlook For 2020, following the great leadership of our 2019 Chairman Mitch Rhoden of Futren Hospitality, the Cobb Chamber’s work continues through its board and our 2020 Chairman John Loud of LOUD Security Systems, Inc. Special focus on the core areas of the Chamber’s mission— business advocacy, membership services, and economic development— remain top priorities, but the Chamber is also committed to enhancing its workforce development efforts, encouraging entrepreneurial growth and supporting Cobb’s military community and Dobbins Air Reserve Base.

This year, there is exciting movement on our focus for creating career pathways for students and strengthening its workforce pipeline.

Both Marietta City Schools and Cobb County Public School District will open college and career academies. The Marietta High School

2020 Cobb Guidebook

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

College and Career Academy is a $12 million facility that will feature classes in high-demand career skill sets, like business accounting and biotech sciences. In the spring, Cobb County Public School District is set to open the Cobb Career Academy at Osborne High School. The Academy is a $14.5-million facility will welcome students for the 20202021 school year, offering curriculum in maker industries, emerging technologies and healthcare services. In addition to K-12, the Cobb Chamber is also working closely with its universities and businesses through Cobb Workforce Partnership to expand the workforce pipeline.

In addition, with the significant number of Veterans in metro Atlanta and Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Cobb, the Cobb Chamber is exploring ways to bring workforce training to local veterans and retired military personnel. Veterans possess a strong work ethic, specialized training, and excellent teaming skills, and this will significantly help both our Veterans and businesses.

It’s clear that Cobb is a community that takes action. For the next 12 months, the Cobb Chamber and its community and economic development partners will continue to create an atmosphere that supports ambition and innovation and positions Cobb for success.

Whether you’re an upstart, builder, go-getter, or corporate CEO, we’re excited to welcome you to our community.

n the school listings you will see two numbers, a College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) and a Climate rating. The CCRPI is a comprehensive school improvement, accountability and communication platform for all educational stakeholders that will promote college and career readiness for all Georgia public school students. The second number is a Climate rating. Schools are rated on a 1 to 5 scale on the Georgia School Climate Star ratings with “1” meaning “unsatisfactory” and “5” being “excellent.” The ratings are based on such factors as test scores, student discipline, attendance and student, parent and staff surveys.

WELL S TA R ’ S H E A LTH PA R K N E TWO R K O FFE R S PAT I EN T S C O N V E N I E N T A C C E S S TO HE A LTHC A RE WellStar Health System launched its health parks initiative in 2012 to improve patient convenience and access to outpatient healthcare. This innovative care model enabled WellStar to put a greater emphasis on patient-centered care by bringing outpatient and physician services directly to the community. As a result, residents no longer have to endure long drive times, frustrating traffic congestion and multiple trips to different facilities to access health services.

“Our community-based facilities have enhanced the patient experience by providing outpatient services, procedures and physician visits under one roof, all connected with one electronic medical record,” said Joe Brywczynski, senior vice president of WellStar Health Parks Administration & Development. “As residents continue searching for greater outpatient value and convenience, we believe having the choice to visit a nearby health park will provide the best option for patients living in the communities we serve.”

Cobb County is home to all three existing WellStar Health Parks. WellStar Acworth Health Park opened in 2012, followed by WellStar East Cobb Health Park (2014) and WellStar Vinings Health Park (2017). To date, WellStar’s health parks have treated more than 2 million patients and have brought more than 700 new jobs to Cobb County.

“WellStar pioneered the concept of health parks in Georgia, where consumers can receive outpatient services close to home,” said Kem Mullins, executive vice president of WellStar Health System. “Our three existing health parks have experienced tremendous growth since opening, demonstrating the value of bringing convenient, high-quality care to the community.”

WellStar’s commitment to meet the growing demand for essential healthcare services in the communities it serves remains evident today.

The health system opened an expanded Urgent Care Center in June 2018 at its Acworth Health Park and will open a new Outpatient Surgery Center in the same location in July 2019. With more than 100 patients visiting the urgent care center each day, the expansion has allowed for the recruitment of additional providers and staff to accommodate more patients with greater efficiency. The urgent care space features 13 patient rooms and includes two sub-waiting rooms, which are used for patients who have been seen or are waiting for test results, freeing up patient rooms and decreasing wait times. The one-level, 25,000 square foot multi-specialty outpatient surgery center will include 15 private, prep/recovery rooms, three operating room suites and three procedure rooms with space for future expansion.

WellStar Cherokee Health Park at Holly Springs and WellStar Avalon Health Park, two additional health parks under construction, are scheduled to open in September 2019 and January 2020, respectively. Combined, the health parks are projected to treat almost 700,000 patients this year and will have a total of 950 WellStar team members working within WellStar’s health park network upon the opening of Cherokee and Avalon health parks.

WellStar Heath Parks offer the following services: • Comprehensive Diagnostic Center (Imaging, Women’s Imaging, Lab & Pre-Admission Testing) • Outpatient Surgery Center • Urgent Care Center • Cardiac Diagnostics • Sleep Center

• Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine (WellStar OrthoSport) • Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation • Retail Pharmacy • Community Education & Wellness Center

These services are integrated with a multi-specialty mix of physicians to include a strong foundation of primary care: family medicine, internal medicine, pediatric and OB/GYN physicians. Specialists include: cardiologists, pulmonologists, ENT, gastroenterologists, vascular surgery, general surgery, allergy/asthma, endocrinology, urology, orthopedics, rheumatology, occupational medicine, spine center, hand surgery, interventional pain, breast surgery, uro-gynecology, gyn-oncology, neurosurgery, neurology, chiropractic medicine and colon and rectal surgery.

LEISURE & RECREATION ENTERTAINMENT

A

s one of the biggest cities in the metro Atlanta area and the biggest of Cobb County, Marietta provides some of the best attractions and entertainment to be found in the area and even in the Southeast U.S. The best place to find entertainment in Marietta is downtown. The Marietta Welcome Center is a great place to stop first if visiting the community.

The Center provides abundant information and also offers interesting tours, including the Historic Marietta Self Guided Walking/Driving Tour, the Marietta Pilgrimage Christmas Home Tour, and the Yellow Rose Carriage Service. Other tours in Marietta are the Ghosts of Marietta Tour, which is especially fun around Halloween, and the Historic Marietta Trolley tour.

There are also several museums which portray everything you need to know about the City and its history, with the Marietta

Fire Museum, the Marietta Gone with the Wind Museum, Scarlett on the Square, the Marietta Museum of History, the Old Zion Baptist Church Heritage Museum and the Root House Museum. Marietta is also home to the Earl Smith Strand Theatre and the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art. Probably one of the most unique and entertaining aspects of downtown Marietta is the Theatre in the Square.

Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History

For family fun, Cobb is home to Six Flags White Water Park. The park holds 50 attractions, with rides, one of the world’s tallest free-falls, a water park and constant special events. Obviously one of the biggest venues for entertainment in the Southeast, Six Flags provides a great time for any age.

PARKS & HISTORICAL LANDMARKS

C

obb County boasts some of the most pristine parks and scenic landscapes in Georgia. With dozens of parks ranging in size from small neighborhood playgrounds to vast forest areas full of trails and sports fields, there is more than enough space to play, relax or just enjoy the beauty of the county. The parks in the county provide numerous outdoor activities, from ball fields, recreational facilities, basketball and tennis courts, benches and grills to playgrounds, gazebos, gardens and dog-friendly locations. Some of the parks within Cobb reside along the Chattahoochee River, a National Recreation Area in Georgia. The river can be used for its relaxing beaches, kayaking, rafting or fishing. There are also many beaches along lakes as well, such as those found on Lake Acworth that offer volleyball courts and picnic pavilions.

Cobb County is also rich with history, which has been preserved through various museums, community centers, parks, and historic cemeteries. Because much of Cobb County was first settled around train depots, many museums honor the history of their city’s roots. Kennesaw holds the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, while Smyrna contains the Trolley Line Park as well as the Smyrna Museum and Train Depot.

You can also find many of the first settlers in the cities within the national cemeteries, such as the Marietta Confederate Cemetery or the Smyrna Memorial Cemetery.

For a complete lising of parks in the Cobb County, please see page 57.

Cobb County's 32 family-friendly tree-lined trails offer the perfect outdoor escape for families, pedestrians and bicyclists. Cobb County has several trail networks with proposals for a countywide system to connect major areas of the county. This network of trails accommodates pedestrians and bicyclists while providing transportation alternatives to ease congestion. Although portions of the trail system are recreational, they provide connectivity between cities, access to regional activity centers, and a healthy commuting option for travelers who wish to avoid the congestion of some county thoroughfares. And, more trails are being proposed and added.
