Peachtree Corners Post 1 Councilmember Phil Sadd will host a Community Meeting at 7 p.m. March 4 to discuss the upcoming Gwinnett County Transit Referendum at the Winters Chapel United Methodist Church, 5105 Winters Chapel Road in Peachtree Corners. State Senator Brandon Beach, Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, will lead the discussion.
Senator Beach was vital in the creation of the Atlanta-Region Transit Authority, which helps direct regional transit growth, as well as provides funding to Metro-Atlanta transit. The bill that helped create the ATL is similar to the one that facilitated the upcoming Gwinnett County Referendum. If passed it will expand public transportation in Gwinnett.
“It is important that citizens are educated about Gwinnett’s proposed solutions for improving traffic, so they can make an informed vote about the Transit Referendum,” said Councilmember Sadd. “This meeting will help prepare voters to decide if Gwinnett’s transit system and services should expand based on its plan and contract with MARTA through a one-cent tax.”
The public is invited to this meeting that will include an open Q&A session giving citizens an opportunity to voice concerns and ask questions prior to the March 19 vote.
