The now-renowned homebuilder spoke during a Thursday Cobb Chamber meeting at the Indian Hills County Club, where he reflected on his career building numerous subdivisions in east Cobb and beyond. A half-century after he first came to the county, Wieland said he’s enjoyed success thanks to his commitment to quality and the strength of the county’s leaders and community. “We found out about Cobb County and it was absolutely fantastic,” Wieland said. A career constructing a community Wieland said he got into homebuilding for the same reason most other people do — “you’re unemployed.” He moved to Georgia from New York City in the late 1960s armed with an MBA from Harvard University and an entrepreneurial spirit. He first went into business with a business school friend in Carrollton, but his partner soon pushed him out. Wieland then moved to south Atlanta, where he had professional connections, and founded his own homebuilding business, John Wieland Homes, in 1970. His first encounter with Cobb County came a few years later when a mortgage lender he frequently worked

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so
