The Atlanta Regional Commission recently presented the Regional Excellence Award for Livable Center to Lawrenceville and the Novare Group for the Lawrenceville Lawn and Lawrenceville SouthLawn.

Lawrenceville Lawn, a 5.5-acre park, and the adjacent Lawrenceville SouthLawn mixed-use development have added new green space, housing and shops to the downtown area.

The public-private project fulfills a long-range vision developed almost 20 years ago through ARC’s Livable Centers Initiative.
