In the past, Duluth has coordinated with Gwinnett County Department of Corrections to hire inmate labor to pick up trash and perform right-of-way maintenance throughout the city. But in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gwinnett is no longer providing inmate labor.
As a result, the Duluth City Council recently approved $12,500 to hire temporary workers to perform these tasks. This initial effort will pay for temporary works through June 30.
According to the city’s website, these jobs will pay $15.11/hour. The employees will perform semi-skilled, manual work alone or as part of a crew for cleaning and maintenance of the Downtown, Town Green, and Festival Center areas. Those hired will also assist with set-up and clean-up for special events.
