City Of Smyrna: Year End Message From Mayor Norton For 2021 Into 2022

Press release from the City of Smyrna:

01/04/2022 9:16 AM

Smyrna Citizens,

As the calendar turns to the new year Smyrna has a lot to be proud of, and we also have a ton of great things ahead of us to look forward to in 2022!

We have persevered through the global pandemic and even with the current surge the light at the end of the tunnel is not far off. We continue to provide excellent service to our residents, and in 2021 returned to some of the programming that you all love, including the Jonquil Festival and the biggest Smyrna Birthday Celebration in our City’s history.  We capped off the year with a revamped “Coming Home for the Holidays” that turned our downtown into something like a scene from a movie. 

We took care of the men and women who keep us safe with raises for public safety personnel TWICE in 2021, and I believe we have the best police and fire departments anywhere in the country right here in Smyrna, Georgia.  

We moved forward with plans to refresh and revitalize our downtown, completely overhaul South Cobb Drive between Windy Hill and Concord Road in Wards 3 and 5, bring in a new Aquatics Center in Ward 6, build a new Splash Pad in Ward 7, and approved the Emerson Center mixed use development in Ward 1 near the Battery and “The Quad” interactive development in Ward 2.  We have also planned for improvements to Concord Road and other measures to improve traffic flow and safety in Ward 4 and across the City.
