The Snellville City Council recently voted to approve the zoning needed to move forward with The Grove at Towne Center. Construction is anticipated to begin this summer on the 18-acre project with the Town Center opening late in 2021 or early 2022.

“We look forward to the new community gathering space, beautiful new Gwinnett County Library and educational/business space and The Mercantile,” said Snellville Mayor, Barbara Bender. “This new town center will create a sense of place we have been missing.”

The Grove will offer shopping, dining, recreation, office space, upscale residential housing, a new Gwinnett County Library, a specialty market/event building, and common areas.

“All the pieces are coming together on a tremendous public-private development to create a well-deserved town center for Snellville,” said Kirk Demetrops, President of MidCity.
