As part of the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District’s plans for a Livable Centers Initiative study of the Gwinnett Place Mall area, Gwinnett Commissioners recently agree to a partnership for funding the study.

The Gwinnett Place CID has contracted with Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. to conduct the study which will guide redevelopment of the Gwinnett Place Mall area. It will consist of public outreach, strategic development and preparation of final deliverables.

The LCI grant helps cities and communities create plans for sidewalks and multi-use trails to connect residents in ways to ease traffic on roadways.

The study is expected to cost $275,000. The Atlanta Regional Commission awarded the Gwinnett Place CID an LCI grant for $220,000, with the estimated local match of $55,000 being split between the CID and Gwinnett. Each party’s share of the local match will be reduced equally should the total study cost less than estimated.
