Depending on economic factors, it will likely take
three to five years to complete.
Economic news from other county entities was
downright positive.
“We’re actually seeing more companies that are
considering Cobb County right now than we ever
have before, which to me that is a light at the end
of the tunnel for this crisis,” Sharon Mason, Cobb
Chamber of Commerce CEO, recently told the
Journal.
The Development Authority of Cobb County
brought $130 million in new investment to Cobb
County in 2020, according to the authority’s
executive director, Nelson Geter. It also added or
retained more than 1,000 jobs. Deals the authority
strikes this year may ultimately dwarf those
numbers.
“We have roughly about $1.3 billion in the
hopper that we’re working on, in conjunction with
SelectCobb, and if those companies decide to come
in Cobb County that will add an additional 3,500
new employees,” Geter told the seven-member
authority at its first meeting of 2021.
Big businesses have been moving their
headquarters to Cobb, including pizza conglomerate
Papa John’s and elevator industry titan
ThyssenKrupp Elevator.
