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.

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.

The city was originally incorporated as Springville in 1838, and officially became Powder Springs in 1859. It has had many roles since – as a popular health spa resort, Civil War encampment, bustling railroad town and thriving agricultural center. In the 1920s and 1930s, even in the midst of hard times, businesses continued to open downtown and trains carried passengers and mail daily. Remnants of this legacy still stand -- housing businesses, congregations, and residents in the neighborhoods along Marietta Street.

The people of Powder Springs are essential to its story of community. Like a casting call, residents of the past included pioneers, miners, Union troops and Confederate spies, local baseball stars, prominent businessmen, ladies of leisure, ministers, and moonshiners.

In the 1940s, the popular cafes of Powder Springs were social destinations for young and old. The “little theater” in the heart of the city showed movies for ten cents. Community baseball and softball teams gathered before and after games at Powder Springs Park, which regularly drew several hundred residents for fun and recreation.

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.

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.

The Wild Horse Trail, Lucille Creek Trail, and the expanding amenities of the city’s Linear Park connect directly with the region’s Silver Comet Trail, forming a city-wide system of trails that links many neighborhoods to our historic downtown, 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.

More Powder Springs community amenities include the new Seven Springs Water Park, the Southern Quilt Trail, the nationally recognized Cobb County BMX Park, McEachern

16 Cobb_2018_final.indd 16

Come Home “ to Powder Springs”

High School Sports and Arts campus, the Coach George E. Ford Center, and the Seven Springs Museum.

Major roadways and transit options like Park-n-Ride and the Flex bus also connect Powder Springs to more recreational venues in Cobb County and metro-Atlanta, such as Six Flags over Georgia, Kennesaw National Battlefield, Sweetwater Creek State Park and the new SunTrust Stadium.

The city’s calendar lists many family-friendly events, BuyLocal business promotions, civic activities, and entertainment throughout the year. One of the most popular events is the July 4th Celebration held in downtown Powder Springs, featuring live music, food, children’s activities, and an incredible fireworks display. At winter holiday time, residents gather again in the Town Square for the Christmas tree lighting, photos with Santa, hot cocoa, and family merriment.

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.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS 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.

The largest investment to date is Silver Comet Village, a $37 million complex offering a three-step senior residential center with access to the Silver Comet Trail and the city’s Linear Park, located adjacent to new senior living at Abbington Trail.

Future plans at the 15-acre site on Florence Road also include medical and office space, a restaurant, and hotel. When finished, this complex will serve as an impressive and inviting gateway to Powder Springs.

Come home to Powder Springs, a special place with a warm, welcoming environment. We invite you to explore our history, quality of life, partnership and progress. You can learn more about Powder Springs’ news, plans, programs and city events at: www.cityofpowdersprings.org.

SMYRNA/ VININGS

N

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.

The Smyrna/Vinings neighborhood offers residents a comfortable climate in which to live, with excellent weather – warm summers and moderate winters – and an average temperature of 61.4 degrees. It is also strategically located near three major interstate systems: I-75, I-20 and I-285.

Downtown Atlanta is just 15 minutes away, and Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport is not much farther.

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. Major companies such as the Atlanta Bread Company and IBM have large offices in Smyrna, while the City was a winner of the prestigious Urban Land Institute’s Aware of Excellence honor.

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.

The council provides an effective municipal government, fulfilling the city’s needs within the boundaries of its budget.

It appoints a City Attorney, City Administrator, City Clerk, Municipal Court Jude and Solicitor. The Mayor and Chief Executive Officer ensure that all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations are executed.

Smyrna is also home to four fire stations and one police station, which features an “R.U.O.K” program for homebound citizens, child safety seat education, drug and alcohol awareness programs, and a traffic school program. The Fire Department offers CPR and first aid training, disaster preparedness, fire safety education, and a child safety seat inspection. And, with the environment in mind, the City also funds a City of Smyrna Recycling Education Center and a Biodiesel Program.

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. In part by its close proximity to the Chattahoochee River, Vinings also hosts several outdoor festivals, parades and concerts, and is also well known for its farmers markets.

Smyrna is an equally outdoor-driven community, with a sprawling collection of parks, jogging trails, pools, lighted tennis courts, and public golf courses. www.eastcobbba.com│www.mariettabusiness.biz│www.westcobbbusiness.com

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.

18 Cobb_2018_final.indd 18

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.

MAJOR PROJECTS ADVANCED

BY THE CCID INCLUDE: • Road Improvement Projects • $300 million Cumberland Blvd. loop road • $85 million Kennedy Interchange (aka Cumberland Blvd. exit) • $60 million U.S. 41 Bridge replacement, road widening, trail and landscape

• $28 million Windy Ridge Parkway • $48 million Windy Hill Road Diverging Diamond Interchange and road improvements

COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE: • $27 million in streetscape and landscape beautification projects in the heart of Cumberland • 38 miles of streetscapes and multi-use trails that connect to the regional network • Silver Comet Connector Trail, Mountain to River Trail and Bob Callan Trail To learn more, visit cumberlandcid.org.

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 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.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 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.

To accomplish this, the TCCID is developing and enhancing green spaces and connecting them via a trail system. The District currently has more than eight miles of trails, including the scenic Noonday Creek Trail that stretches from Bells Ferry Road to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, the most visited national park in the United States. The TCCID has plans to add a seven-mile Town Center Loop Trail, as well as to connect the Noonday Creek Trail to existing trails in Marietta and Woodstock. These connections are made easier using Town Center’s popular Zagster bike share program.

To complement their vast trail network, the TCCID is adding an astounding 50 acres of greenspace, beginning with Aviation Park.

Currently under construction, this three-acre park adjacent to the Cobb County International Airport will offer visitors lush greenspace to relax and watch planes take off and land. It includes a flightthemed playground, picnic pavilion, bike share station and more. The majority of newly acquired acreage will be used to develop Town Center Park, a 42-acre area that will form

a stunning combination of outdoor greenspace, cultural park and trail network in one. Through these initiatives, the TCCID is transforming Town Center into a captivating outdoor destination and making it a community for all metro Atlantans to easily access and enjoy.

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. School climate scores released by the state in 2016 show Marietta City Schools doing about the same as 2015 while Cobb County schools saw improvement. To learn more about the new testing requirements throughout the State, please visit: www.gadoe.org

The school district has approximately 1,200 employees who are regularly recognized among the best in the state and nation.

As an IB World School District, MCS offers the optional IB Primary Years

24 Cobb_2018_final.indd 24

Program for grades K-5, IB Middle Years Program for all students in grades 6-10, and the IB Diploma Program and Career-Related Program as an option for high school students in grades 11-12.

It is one of only a few school systems nationwide able to provide the full IB (K12) continuum. MCS is also home to one National Blue Ribbon School: Marietta Center for Advanced Academics; one National School of Excellence: A.L. Burruss Elementary; and five Georgia Schools of Excellence: A.L. Burruss Elementary, Marietta Center for Advanced Academics, West Side Elementary, Marietta Middle School, and Marietta High School. MCS is ranked nationally as among the Top Ten US School Districts in Digital Technology and was selected as the Georgia Charter System Foundation’s 2016 Charter System Innovator of the Year.

In 2013, Marietta City Schools (MCS) earned continuing accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), an accreditation division of AdvancED. In 2007, Marietta City Schools earned initial district accreditation as a quality school system from SACS CASI. District Accreditation is valid for five years and is the highest level of accreditation that a school system can receive from the SACS CASI organization. More» National Civic League crowned the city of Marietta one of the ten best communities in the nation as a 2006 All-America City, the oldest and most respected community recognition award in the country. Our reading and literacy program, Marietta Reads!, played a significant role in Marietta’s selection as an All-America City.

MCS maintains a proud tradition of educational excellence because its citizens expect the best. From support provided by the Marietta Schools Foundation, teachers, administrators,

and students receive recognition and incentives to excel.

Our schools enjoy low pupil-teacher ratios (20:1), high per pupil expenditures ($10,542- FY17 Budgeted), and excellent support staff provisions.

Seventy-five percent of MCS certified staff have a Masters Degree or higher and our teachers are regularly recognized among the best in the state and nation. Technology plays an integral role throughout the system, and all teachers receive a laptop computer upon hiring.

Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates

W

hen it comes to overall wellbeing, a healthy digestive system is critical at any age. For more than 40 years, Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates (AGA) has been caring for patients with digestive issues. AGA is one of the largest gastroenterology practices in the United States with over 90 physicians and 42 Metro Atlanta offices – including four convenient locations in Cobb County.

Our Board Certified specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating both common and complex digestive disorders and liver diseases – including heartburn and acid reflux, hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, ulcers and hepatitis.

In addition, the physicians are experts at screening for colon cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the second leading cause of

cancer-related deaths in the U.S.; it is also the most preventable. Screening colonoscopies are recommended for every adult beginning at age 50 and younger for those with a family history or other risk factors. During the procedure, a trained gastroenterologist will check for any signs of cancer and remove existing polyps that may turn into cancer over time.

For most patients, gastrointestinal problems can be properly diagnosed and often treated using endoscopic techniques instead of surgery. The physicians perform most endoscopic procedures – like colonoscopies and upper GI endoscopies (EGD) – on an outpatient basis at an AGA-affiliated endoscopy center. For procedures and services that cannot be performed at one of the outpatient facilities, AGA's physicians have privileges at many area hospitals.

Patients also benefit from access to

other services offered at select AGA locations such as nutrition counseling, abdominal ultrasound services for diagnosing digestive disorders and infusion services for treating complex autoimmune diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

AGA’s pediatric specialists care for infants, adolescents and teens at four metro locations – including an office in Marietta. Some of the digestive issues seen in young patients include acid reflux, constipation, abdominal pain, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diarrhea, esophagitis, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, liver disease, and motility disorders.

AGA is a participating provider for Medicaid, Medicare and most healthcare plans offered in Georgia. To request appointments online or for more information, visit www.atlantagastro.com or call 1.866.GO.TO.AGA [468.6242].

atrick Malloy Communities (PMC) was founded in 1994 by Patrick Malloy, in an era when your home was part of your neighborhood, and your neighborhood was part of your life. That core focus remains strong today, with the family’s third generation at the helm. Ballantry Homes (BH) was founded more than 20 years ago

by David Hill. Since that time BH has become one of the largest and most acclaimed homebuilders in the Greater Toronto Area.

Leveraging the long history of PMC in Metro Atlanta, the two companies now operate under the name Patrick Malloy Communities. David Hill and Patrick Malloy continue their long-standing tradition and commitment to building high-quality homes that offer exceptional features in neighborhoods that enhance people’s lives and cultivate a sense of community.

Patrick Malloy Communities was honored on November 11, 2017 at the OMNI-CNN Center in Atlanta with 3 gold OBIE awards and 8 silver awards by the Greater Atlanta Homebuilders Association. The OBIE awards are one of the highest honors that new home builders in Atlanta can receive. “To have the admiration of your peers for great achievement is very exciting. The awards we receive showcase the hard work that goes on all year long from everyone here at Patrick Malloy Communities,” Patrick Malloy, President of Patrick Malloy Communities.

With homes from the $300s up to the $800s from Roswell to West Cobb to Forsyth County and everywhere in between, Patrick Malloy Communities offers beautiful new home construction throughout the Metro Atlanta area. You can see all of the communities listed at PMCommunities.com. Live on a different level.

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 69.

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.
