Lawrenceville and the city’s Downtown Development Authority have partnered to construct a walking trail to pay homage to individuals based on their contributions to the development or well-being of Lawrenceville and/or its residents.

Known as the Heritage Trail, the walkway commences at the Gwinnett Fallen Heroes Memorial and ends in front of Rhodes Jordan Park. Honorees for the Heritage Trail medallions are chosen annually through a meticulous nomination process.

“When residents and guests walk the Heritage Trail, they have the opportunity to explore our growing community and also learn about Lawrenceville’s rich history,” said Mayor Judy Jordan Johnson.

This year, The DDA will accept applications for nominees from Sept. 15 through Nov. 15. Lawrenceville citizens or any organization operating within Lawrenceville city limits may submit nominations.

Application: www.LawrencevilleGa.org. Go to Government, then Boards & Commissions, and look for the Downtown Development Authority page.
