Programs provide an in-depth look at economic development, partnerships and future of Town Center
Town Center Community will host its third annual State of the District event on October 22 at 8 a.m. at the Governors Gun Club, located at 1005 Cobb Place Blvd. NW, in Kennesaw. This annual gathering brings together industry leaders, community members, and key stakeholders to discuss the district’s growth and success, its vision for 2025, and to recognize the winners of the 2024 Townie Awards, which celebrate outstanding community leaders, developers, and businesses in the Town Center area.
“The State of the District event offers businesses valuable insight into the strategic developments shaping our community’s economic landscape,” said Tracy Styf, Executive Director of Town Center Community. “By coming together, we can foster strong partnerships that will benefit the entire Town Center area for years to come.”
