Although Cartersville and Bartow County have a strong and impactful industrial base, the majority of jobs and investment in business in our community comes from small business. The Small Business Council (SBC) is invested in the growth and development of small business through various programs, information, and offerings.

The SBC partners with the Small Business Development Center through the University of Georgia to provide valuable seminars and lunch and learn programs on a variety of topics that can help small business owners run their business more efficiently and effectively as well as introduce them to resources available to help them succeed.

2022 Small Business of the Year

The 2022 Small Business of the Year award was presented to Weaver Heating & Air at the 83nd Annual Meeting & Quarterly Luncheon on February 7, 2023.

In 1970, Rudy Weaver founded Weaver Heating & Air, which began as a two-person operation focused on commercial and industrial installations. Over the past 49 years, they have remained a family owned and operated business, expanded their services to include both commercial and residential, and added over 2,000 square feet to their facility.

In 2022, Weaver Heating & Air set new records and reached unprecedented milestones. The company grew their install crews by 100 percent, doubled their office staff, and earned a 40 percent growth in revenue, a 30 percent growth in new residential customers, and a 100 percent growth in new commercial development.

Weaver Heating & Air has maintained its high standards and top-notch customer service in part due to their investment in their employees with a focus on enhanced pay and benefits, integrated technologies, and upgraded equipment. Congratulations to Weaver Heating & Air!
