The Marietta Daily Journal – Cumberland CID gives EDGE 30K

The governing board of the Cumberland Community Improvement District on Thursday gave a $30,000 jolt to the county’s new economic development program.

The Cobb Competitive Economic Development for a Growing Economy initiative, which kicked off in March, is a five-year economic development strategy housed at the Cobb Chamber of Commerce in the form of a 501(c)(3).

EDGE co-chair Dan Styf, vice president of regional and marketing strategy with Kaiser Permanente of Georgia, asked the CID for a $150,000 commitment over five years.

CID Vice Chairman John Shern said he preferred to give money in annual installments to track the program’s progress.
