Following a lengthy process, the Sugar Hill City Council recently adopted the final documents for the Sugar Hill Greenway Livable Centers Initiative Concept Plan. Council members noted the comprehensive plan encompasses the entire city and does an excellent job connecting older neighborhoods with downtown and the greenway.

The city’s previous plans include the Sugar Hill Greenway Master Plan (2016), the Sugar Hill SR 20 Corridor Study (2018), the Sugar Hill Downtown Master Plan LCI (2018), and the Gwinnett County Trails Master Plan (2018). This plan supports the Sugar Loop Greenway concept by adding an east-west connection along the Ga. 20 corridor from Pinedale Circle to Buford Highway to improve access from neighborhoods to downtown, local businesses, and the future greenway. It also includes the north-south connection between downtown and Richland Creek that will form part of the Sugar Loop Greenway.
