When we started the year 2020,
we had no idea what lay ahead.
No one forecast a pandemic the
likes of which we hadn’t seen for more than a
century. Its impact on our lives,
our work, our schools, even our
churches was drastic in the shortterm.
With the coronavirus still
among us, the impact will be felt
for some time to come.
Which brings us to the Marietta
Daily Journal’s second annual
“Forecast” magazine. It’s difficult
to peer into the future with a
crystal ball that was cracked by
COVID-19. The arrival and administering of
vaccines certainly gives us hope the turmoil
will soon be quelled, but while there’s still
some distance to travel, at least we can see the
end of the road.
Forecast 2021 takes all that into account
and highlights the successes our community
achieved while overcoming the pandemic.
Before Interstate 75, before the Bell
Bomber plant, before Truist
Park, before the Big Chicken,
the land that would one day be
called Cobb County was home
to nomads, living off the game
and shellfish nurtured by the
Chattahoochee River.
Even then, the land was full of
promise.
From that blank slate grew the
Cobb community we know today.
Today, a thriving community of 760,000 is
credited to those with vision. Those who could
see a manufacturing plant that would help
change the course of World War II. Those who
could see a highway bisect the county. Those
who could see a university that would become
the third largest in the state of Georgia. Those
who could lead us through a pandemic.
In homage to the many leaders who
recognized Cobb’s potential and acted upon
those visions to make things happen, the
Marietta Daily Journal presents Forecast 2021.
Traditionally at this time of the year, the
MDJ published its Progress edition, a multisection
edition that chronicled the advances
made in the business, arts, education and
recreational environments over the last year.
Last year, rather than taking a look back,
we looked ahead and published our first
“Forecast” magazine that recorded the past
years accomplishments, but also looked
forward to the Cobb horizon. In 2021, we took
the same approach and did so in eight sectors
of our community: Arts and Entertainment,
Business, Economic Development, Education,
Health, Real Estate, Senior Living and Sports.
To capture the essence of Cobb County and
its people, we invited the business community,
merchants, organizations and associations to
tell their own stories of success in this annual
publication.
To all our readers and those who support
this publication, we thank you and hope you
enjoy Forecast 2021.
