The Marietta Daily Journal – City authority mulls support for Chamber Organization talks 10K pledge to EDGE program

MARIETTA — The Marietta Development Authority is considering a $10,000 statement of support for the Cobb Chamber’s Competitive EDGE economic development program.

If the authority follows through with the donation, it would mark the second public entity to contribute to the nonprofit EDGE, which is charged with spurring economic development throughout Cobb County.

The cash donation was proposed by Beth Sessoms, the city’s economic development manager, who said she is also a member on the redevelopment committee with EDGE, which is housed at the Cobb Chamber.

Board members of the Marietta Development Authority seemed willing to make a financial pledge during a meeting Wednesday, but stopped short of a vote.
