Gwinnett Place voters renew community improvement district

April 13, 2011

Commercial property owners in Gwinnett Place voted Wednesday to continue the community improvement district for another six years.

The district allows commercial property owners to tax themselves to pay for transportation, safety and aesthetic improvements. The Gwinnett Place CID was formed in 2005 in the Pleasant Hill Road area near I-85. Under state law, property owners must vote periodically to renew the district.

Executive Director Joe Allen said Wednesday’s vote ensures the district will continue to play a key role in projects like the new I-85/Pleasant Hill Road interchange.
