Marietta-Kennesaw Market
Marietta-Kennesaw is the industrial heart of northwest metro Atlanta. Lockheed Martin's Marietta facility is the largest employer, manufacturing F-35 fighters and other defense aircraft. Kennesaw State University brings 43,000+ students and a young workforce.
The film industry has been a massive boost for this area. Multiple production studios and support facilities have opened, creating demand for construction, catering, equipment rental, and professional services.
Commercial corridors along I-75 and US-41 are active with retail, medical, and mixed-use development. The cost advantage over Atlanta proper makes Marietta-Kennesaw attractive for businesses that need metro Atlanta access at suburban prices.
