County to expand George Pierce Park gym in Suwanee
The gymnasium at George Pierce Park in Suwanee will be expanded under an agreement approved by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Tuesday.
Commissioners awarded a $3.2 million contract to Headley Construction Corp. The company will build an 18,212-foot addition with an elevated running/walking track, a full-size basketball court, two overlay basketball courts and other facilities.
Gwinnett will pay for the project with money raised from a voter-approved 2009 sales tax for construction projects.
