The Daily Tribune News – Cartersville hosts state federal legislators for Hometown Connection

For the second year in a row, Cartersville hosted Thursday a Hometown Connection meeting that allowed state legislators, and representatives of federal legislators, the chance to hear from city officials and learn about the city’s operations.

City Manager Sam Grove highlighted how Cartersville and its utilities focus on citizens’ quality of life.

“We’re a little different than the typical city that you find. … We’ve got six utilities: electric, gas, water, telecom, stormwater, solid waste. Some of these we’ve been working in for 100 years, and that’s our philosophy. … Now we do supply affordable services to our customers,” he said in his opening remarks. “They’re much more than a number to us. We have a strong relationship with our businesses, and as you see as we go through a discussion of our utilities, we have a relatively small number of businesses that do a lot of business with us and generate a lot of revenue and related costs.”
