Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlotte Nash has signed a declaration of local emergency to mitigate or alleviate some of the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Gwinnett County.
One of my biggest responsibilities as chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is to work with County staff to develop the annual Gwinnett County budget.
On September 18, the Georgia Department of Education announced that Georgia’s graduation rate rose slightly to an all-time high in 2019, reaching 82%. Gwinnett County Public Schools experienced a slight decrease in its four-year graduation rate this year, moving from 81.7% to 80.9% and continued improvement in its five-year graduation rate as it reached 84.27%.
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and officials from the Georgia Department of Public Safety and Georgia Department of Transportation broke ground Tuesday on the Georgia State Patrol Post in Gwinnett County.
Cities across Gwinnett and the greater Atlanta area are proclaiming themselves “Purple Heart Cities” to show solidarity for those wounded while serving in the US Armed Forces. Among those in the city of Snellville, where Mayor Barbara Bender issued a proclamation to designate the city and its roadways.
Homeowners were stunned, outraged, dismayed by the proposed re-zoning request along the 800 block of Ozora Road; to allow a waste transfer station in a heavy residential area near Tribble Mill Park and two schools. But in coming together to show their opposition, they’ve also seen another side of their community that gives them hope, not only for this area but for all of Gwinnett.
If you think locating a waste transfer station in a residential area is a bad idea, you might want to look at a few facts.
At this point, you’re probably thinking, “Oh, here we go. This guy is going to try to convince me that it’s not a bad idea to have a noisy, stinking waste transfer station in my neighborhood. Read on. You just might be in for a surprise.
There’s a special election under-way to decide how people in Gwinnett will get around and make connections in the future.
Preparing a balanced proposed budget each year is one of my official duties as chairman of the Board of Commissioners. It’s a task I actually enjoy and one that I’ve trained for most of my life.
