Gwinnett County asking residents to help design communities

The Gwinnett County Planning and Development Department is hosting a series of workshops where residents can share their thoughts on designing specific communities.

The events are part of the process for developing the county’s 2045 Unified Plan. Called Small Area Plan Charettes, they explore potential improvements to certain parts of the county and allow residents to review progress.
