Gwinnett County and the Georgia Department of Transportation are collecting input on a proposed full-diamond interchange on I-85 at McGinnis Ferry Road.
The number of capital projects now under construction by your County government tells me Gwinnett County’s future is bright!
The Norcross Senior Center soon will undergo a renovation to make the facility more comfortable and convenient for Gwinnett’s aging population. On Tuesday the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved a $974,102 contract with Diversified Construction of Georgia to add space and amenities to the center, including an improved entrance, a new covered drop-off area, and interior updates.
Lawrenceville – The Board of Commissioners recently approved the installation of infrastructure that will allow County transportation engineers to communicate with traffic signals and cameras along four high-traffic corridors in Gwinnett. The Georgia Department of Transportation is funding the lion’s share of the construction contracts while the County’s portion comes from the 2009 SPLOST.
SNELLVILLE – The city council approved a measure Monday, which will help pay for the bulk of the new Oak Road Park and the proposed Towne Center Multi-Use Trail.
The city will use a maximum of $1 million in County Special Local Option Sales Tax funds to pay for a majority of the costs of the two projects. Oak Road Park had a price tag of $400,000 while the trail system is expected to cost $1.25 million.
Lawrenceville – As required by law, Gwinnett Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash presented the Chairman’s Proposed Budget for 2018 to the District Commissioners on Tuesday. The $1.67 billion proposed budget is up about seven percent from this year, primarily due to transfers for capital improvements and increased costs for salaries and benefits.
This was a busy summer of groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings as we continue to deliver new SPLOST-funded projects to make our county a better place to live, work and play.
Lawrenceville – Gwinnett residents are invited to a meeting on Aug. 15 to form an all-volunteer Citizens Project Selection Committee to review transportation projects for 2017 SPLOST funding and recommend priorities and funding allocations to County officials.
Lawrenceville – Gwinnett County is seeking public input on transportation projects that could be funded by the sales tax renewal that will go before voters in a referendum on Nov. 8 of this year.
