The Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District has released the ACTivate Gwinnett Place master plan, which charts a path for redevelopment of Gwinnett’s central business district.

Building upon the 2012 Livable Centers Initiative study, ACTivate Gwinnett Place identifies catalyst projects for investment to improve transportation, connectivity and livability. With input from area property owners, local business interests, civic leaders, Gwinnett officials and GPCID board members, the master plan identifies an infrastructure framework that invites mixed-used developments, creates greater connectivity between commercial centers and enhances public green space.

“Five catalyst infrastructure projects frame the overall Master Plan and will determine the future livability, connectivity and redevelopment potential of the area,” said Leo Wiener, GPCID Board of Directors Chair.

The plan’s key elements include a “grand promenade” trail network, an iconic bike and pedestrian bridge connecting with McDaniel Farm Park, intersection and roadway improvements, and storm water management solutions that can also serve as a public amenity.
