Hundreds of Suwanee citizens have sat, climbed, and had their photos taken on the infamous Tic Tac Toe City Bench, part of the city’s SculpTour program that is in front of City Hall.

Rather than fill up a dumpster with the used materials, the former art installation, created by brothers Aaron and Zac Benson out of 180 2-by-4 wood building studs, has found new life. Habitat for Humanity will be using the wood in one of its next Gwinnett County home builds.

“Each time we have created a wooden sculpture, we have worked with Habitat for Humanity to repurpose the wood,” said Betty Benson of Benson Sculpture.
