Gwinnett to extend Ivy Creek Greenway

Gwinnett County will soon begin designing a new section of the Ivy Creek Greenway.

On Dec. 13 the county Board of Commissioners accepted $1 million in federal transportation funds to help design and build a new section. The new section will start at the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center in Buford and connect to the existing trail near the Mall of Georgia.

The $1.8 million cost of the project also includes $800,000 from Gwinnett’s 2005 special local option sales tax program. Construction is expected to begin next summer.
