Agree with State of the County?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Gwinnett Commission Chairman Charles Bannister on Thursday, issued his third State of the County and said the county is “getting better year-by-year, and the best is yet to come.”
“This is truly an exciting time to be living in Gwinnett County,” Bannister said. His 37-minute speech, which included a short video presentation, was loaded with optimism about the future, but mostly focused on his administration’s accomplishments during the past year.
Bannister found evidence of Gwinnett’s prosperity in new parks, libraries, the hiring of 133 new police officers and 113 sheriff’s deputies last year and the launching of $110 million in road projects. Bannister also hailed the landing of a new $240 million Hewlett Packard data center in Suwanee.
