Nash’s vision for Gwinnett: See it yourself

March 7, 2016

As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported recently, Gwinnett County Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash envisions a future in which the county is part college town, part Hollywood and part Broadway.

During her annual State of the County speech, Nash cited transportation as Gwinnett’s biggest challenge. Though she didn’t endorse any particular solutions, she unveiled a series of illustrations of a possible future that included bus rapid transit, a form of transit that involves large buses departing from transit stations and using dedicated lanes to carry commuters.

Now you can listen and see for yourself. Nash's speech is now available for viewing at https://vimeo.com/156019485.
