Cobb chamber wants to know the good, and bad

The Cobb Chamber of Commerce wants to figure out what makes the county a good, and a bad, place to live, and is asking the public to fill out an anonymous online survey by July 11.

The survey, at www.surveymonkey.com/CobbEDGE, asks people to rate the business climate, education, infrastructure, quality of life and the economy.

The chamber says it needs the information because it is working with consultant Market Street Services to draw up a 5-year economic and community development plan.
