May 7, 2013

The state’s largest community improvement district just got bigger.

Gwinnett County commissioners Tuesday approved the addition of 30 parcels to the existing 14-square-mile Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District, which will add about $45,000 per year in revenue for the organization that helps fund infrastructure improvements and provide security for businesses in the I-85 corridor in the southwest portion of the county.

The district formed in 2006 and represents more than 550 commercial owners, accounting for over $1 Billion in commercial property value. The district’s annual budget is about $9 million.
