The stars at night are big and bright …
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you had trouble reaching your county commissioner or favorite Gwinnett chamber member last week, chances are he or she was in Collin County, Texas.
As many as 60 Gwinnett and metro Atlanta political, business and community leaders went there for the chamber’s second “Strategic Leadership Visit.”
The chamber news release describes it as “a sojourn to a county that is coping with or has mastered some of the same issues Gwinnett now face or may face in the future.”
The chamber put together one of these events a year ago and sent a delegation of many of the same folks to Fairfax County, Va.
The chamber picked Collin County because it’s an affluent suburb of Dallas and faces some of the same problems, er, sorry, “challenges,” with population growth, attracting industry and improving transportation, according to the chamber’s news release.
What does Collin County have that Gwinnett doesn’t? The Collin County Farm Museum, which this weekend will host the English Springer Spaniel Association Show.
Whatever, we much prefer learning about the wonders of wastewater treatment at this county’s one-of-a-kind Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center.
