The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners recently accepted a $100,000 grant from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Land and Water Conservation Fund.
These funds will be used to refurbish the trailhead parking area and pavilion at George Pierce Park, 55 Buford Highway in Suwanee, to create an improved amenity area near the entrance to the greenway and softball fields. The project also includes construction of a new restroom building and playground with accessible features.
In June, Gwinnett Commissioners approved a $2,554,084 contract with low bidder Tri Scapes, Inc. for the park enhancements.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund grant requires a 50% match in funding which will come from the 2014 SPLOST program. Any additional funding will come from various SPLOST programs.
