🏭 2024 Business Walks! SelectCobb recently held our annual Business Walks event in partnership with Cobb County Government Economic Development, the City of Marietta, and the City of Smyrna, GA Government. Together, the groups visited 11 different companies and learned more about what our county and cities are doing well and how we can all improve. After the visits, team leaders followed up directly with company representatives to share valuable information identified during the visit. In addition, information from the companies is being shared with local government representatives to assist in making impactful changes for our business community.
