Gwinnett County will demolish three county buildings at 240 Oak Street in Lawrenceville under a contract awarded by the Board of Commissioners Tuesday.
The downtown buildings served as Gwinnett’s administrative headquarters before the county moved into the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in 1988. Two of the buildings were built in 1948 to house Lawrenceville High School.
County officials say the buildings pose a health hazard. Cummins Enterprises Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder at $204,700. The demolition will be complete within 90 days. County officials plan to sell the property.
