A plan to map out Snellville’s future through 2040 is under way. City officials have begun the process of creating the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, a guide to shaping Snellville’s future for decades to come.
Three firms have been chosen as finalists to create the plan: Jacobs of Atlanta, TSW of Atlanta, and Amec Foster Wheeler of Kennesaw. These firms will be interviewed in the coming weeks before one is chosen to collect public and professional input through community meetings, then disseminate those findings and ultimately write the plan.
The Snellville 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2009. Since then, the city has worked to create a Towne Center in the downtown area. A major focus of the new plan will be to expand the Towne Center around a city market and library though a partnership with Gwinnett County. Officials hope this will spur commercial and residential growth in the areas surrounding city hall and elsewhere.
The state mandated deadline for the plan is Feb. 1, 2019. City officials hope to be ready for approval by the end of this year.
