Advocacy
The Cobb Chamber is dedicated to fostering a vibrant business environment, sustainable growth, and enhanced quality of life in Cobb County. Since its inception, the Chamber champions advocacy at the local, state and federal levels on behalf of its members – from sole proprietors to global entities. As the county continues to flourish inside the number one state to do business for the 12th year, it is vital to be laser focused on advocacy priorities that are developed at the member level and from key stakeholders. This document outlines policy areas that guide our engagement at the local level and enhance our efforts at the state and federal level. These priorities aim to address top business concerns, promote economic development, and ensure Cobb County remains a competitive and desirable place to live, work, and do business.
The connectivity of our businesses to their workforce, suppliers and customers is a defining issue for Cobb and the region. We believe infrastructure, transportation, and mobility investments are critical to the long-term stability and the future success of our county, region, and state. We also view it as a partnership, and our local, state, and federal governments are making significant investments to provide matching funds to move critical projects forward.
As a cornerstone of Cobb County’s economy and national security, Dobbins Air Reserve Base hosts the 94th Airlift Wing, 22nd Air Force Headquarters, Georgia National Guard Headquarters, Navy Reserve Center Atlanta, and soon, the 81st Readiness Division of the U.S. Army Reserve, Marine Reserve, and Civil Air Patrol. The Base supports over 5,000 military members, serves 400,000 eligible beneficiaries in the greater Atlanta region, and partners with civilian employers like Lockheed Martin and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI).
