Last week, the Cobb Chamber joined Governor Brian Kemp, First Lady of Georgia Marty Kemp, and a host of partners to celebrate an important milestone -- 75 years of Lockheed Martin in Marietta.

“For 75 years, Lockheed Martin has been far more than one of Cobb County's largest employers – it has been a cornerstone of our community's identity, economy, and future. The Cobb Chamber, SelectCobb, and our local government partners are proud to stand alongside a company that invests in our region at every level, from the more than 5,600 jobs that power local families to the 21,000 volunteer hours Marietta employees give back to our schools and organizations each year. Lockheed Martin's commitment to Cobb County and our state is as strong and enduring as the aircraft they build here, and we are honored to celebrate 75 years of that remarkable partnership.” -- Sharon Mason, President and CEO of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce
