Heart of Gwinnett

New Lawrenceville networks for a purpose

Welcome to New Lawrenceville. As the founder and President of New Lawrenceville, I want to welcome you to the community of Lawrenceville, Georgia.  When I started this group in 2007 I never knew to the lengths & levels of where this local business networking group would go.

Most people in downtown Atlanta claim they can’t go outside the Perimeter because the air is too thin! If it is too thin in as they claim, then that must be why people are patient, kind and loving to one another in Gwinnett and New Lawrenceville.  All 16 of these small towns in Gwinnett County are known for small hometown sensibility and loving one another. February is the month of Love. There are valentines, hearts and roses for all those in Love. But the New Lawrenceville community shares another kind of Love with its residents, business owners and visitors.

2014 is Here! Make it Great!

A New Year, A New You… in New Lawrenceville!

We have been told they are relationship killers and they can be, if all parties included in the conversation don’t have an open mind, especially when talking about Politics.

Is your community a part of YOU?

Everyone these days speaks of a “sense of community” that they either remember from childhood, wish they had, or, as in the area of South-Eastern Gwinnett County, have found again.
