Mar. 13—CUMBERLAND — Cobb has a major role to play as a member of the metro Atlanta region, said Anna Roach, CEO of the Atlanta Regional Commission, at a Cobb Chamber event Monday.
She said issues such as water resource management, transportation and air quality exceed the capacities of local governments, using the example of the Atlanta Braves playing in Cobb to demonstrate that the region is interconnected to an extent that demands regional planning.
"We can't enjoy that team without coming to Cobb, and so every single thing that you do, every decision that you make, every investment that you make here in Cobb affects the entire region," Roach said.
