Gwinnett was one of seven local governments recognized last week by the Atlanta Regional Commission for leadership in implementing policies and practices that contribute to efficient and sustainable use of resources.
Actions Gwinnett was honored for upgrading to a gold level certified Green Community by: installing bicycle parking at all 60 of its community facilities; conducting water audits on a total of 113 government buildings by 2019 with the initial measures taking place in 23 buildings in 2014; recognizing the key benefits offered by shared, joint and reduced parking, and pioneering Gwinnett Senior Services’ use of a cloud-based program that searches for the most efficient delivery routes for each Meals on Wheels driver.
