GARRETT â At Tuesdayâs meeting of the Garrett Board of Works, Executive Director Anton King of the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership shared highlights from 2020 amid the pandemic, âwhich oddly was a record-breaking year from a dollar-investment standpoint,â he said.
âWhat we saw was it was a time to hit the pause button, with companies realizing where to make their dollar investments strategically. DeKalb County was the benefactor of several consolidations,â he said, reporting some $145 million in investments in the county as a whole, a total 43 deals altogether, not only in manufacturing and distribution sector, but also a great deal of commercial activity, commercial expansions and quality-of-life projects, such as Momentive Performance Materials and the expansion of Shortyâs Steakhouse, both in Garrett.
