If Gwinnett voters elect to extend SPLOST another 3 years, Norcross officials propose using funds to purchase the existing public library on Buford Highway to relocate the Norcross Police Department from the now overcrowded City Hall. Working with the county and Gwinnett Library Board, officials envision building a new library near Lillian Webb Park. The city could collect as much as $7.8 million, divided among 4 categories, with administration buildings getting 17.5 percent, 60 percent for transportation-related projects, including new sidewalks, 7.5 percent going to parks and recreation andd owntown parking projects would be allocated 15 percent, said City Manager Rudolph Smith.
