Cartersville, GA, February 21, 2017– The Bartow-Cartersville Joint Development Authority shared their annual report of economic progress during 2016, and their perspective regarding economic outlook for 2017. Commissioner Taylor was on hand to note that, “without the community’s collaboration to support our employers, Bartow citizens would not be able to enjoy as many quality job opportunities.”

These companies are collectively investing $155,760,000 over the coming years, as reported by Melinda Lemmon, Executive Director. Trending data related to the local economy was discussed, as well as future influencing factors on the community’s quality growth.

Highlights include: Surya’s ribbon cutting ceremony with visiting Governor Nathan Deal and international guests, Constellium Automotive Structures North America’s building completion, and voestalpine Automotive Components Cartersville, Inc.’s most recent expansion. 2017 has already seen the addition of First American Resources, a German supplier to the automotive and construction industries, and the new Georgia DOT District 6 Headquarters.

During remarks, Chairman James Jarrett thanked all concerned for their part in nurturing existing industries, and Cartersville Mayor Matt Santini thanked attendees for their roles in the community’s success, noting that because of partners in utilities, brokerage community, education partners and state partners, among others “our community has much to look forward to.”
