Good morning, Marietta.

Cobb County issued 38 new business licenses from June 7 to 14, covering ventures such as restaurants, retail, and nonprofits. (Several new permits serve Marietta and highlight the region’s diverse local economy.)

After a year marked by leadership changes, All-Star games, and groundbreakings, the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority reported a $178.6 million economic impact from local events, highlighting growing business activity in the area.

At the Cobb school board meeting on June 14, a comment about emergency safety protocols was removed from the meeting’s video after the commenter asked to delete specific procedure details (the reporter could not isolate only those edits).

The change aims to balance transparency with security.

A new online quiz by Cobb County Courier challenges residents to explore local acronyms used in county programs, offering fun interactive links for more background on public services.

The quiz encourages learning about how county funding supports local infrastructure.
