Settlement nears in lawsuit pitting Gwinnett against cities

Feb 3, 2012

A settlement may be near in a long-running lawsuit between Gwinnett County and its 15 cities.

The Loganville City Council will meet Tuesday night to approve a final agreement with Gwinnett County in a lawsuit over government services, according to a public notice distributed by the city.

Last September a judge ruled city residents in Gwinnett don’t have to pay for services that primarily benefit residents of unincorporated areas. Despite that ruling, settlement negotiations have continued.
