The Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District has been awarded a $136,000 grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission. The funds will be used for the 10-year update of the existing Jimmy Carter Boulevard Livable Centers Initiative plan.

The update will include a market analysis to inform an updated concept plan to support appropriate redevelopment and plan for multi-modal transportation improvements.

The original Livable Centers Initiative Study examined land use and transportation improvements along Jimmy Carter Boulevard from Buford Highway to Singleton Road and generated a 5-year transportation plan with specific needed projects. Two of these projects along the boulevard, safety improvements at Singleton Road and North Norcross Tucker Road, have been pre-approved to compete for LCI transportation implementation funds.
