In response to COVID-19:

Bartow County Industry Leaders:

On behalf of Bartow County Government, the City of Cartersville, our Development Authorities and other stakeholders, our Department remains a resource to Industries throughout this emergency and beyond.

With that, we are sharing meaningful resources with the Cartersville-Bartow County Chamber of Commerce since they have been proactive in creating web-based, centralized resource page, COVID-19: Community Information and Updates. 

Please check content regularly (if not daily) for updated local, state, and federal resources that may be beneficial.  

BARTOW-CARTERSVILLE JOINT DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY:

The BCJDA holds recurring public meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at noon in the Clarence Brown Conference Center.  Please note that meetings are subject to being cancelled if agenda content is insufficient.  Please check the Daily Tribune News, the Legal Organ of Bartow County, for meeting notices, cancellations or special called meetings at least 24 hours in advance.
