Residents have through Wednesday to leave written comments on Gwinnett’s proposed $1.42 billion budget for fiscal year 2015.
Highlights include pay-for-performance increases for non-sworn employees and a step increase for public safety personnel, as well as additional staffing for judicial services, the animal shelter, a new fire station, and new Level Creek Park. The county will also bring back Saturday bus service for local routes and add two daily express service trips from the Indian Trail Park and Ride lot.
The proposed $370.6 million capital budget includes construction of two fire stations using SPLOST funds, one to serve the Georgia Gwinnett College area and one relocated to improve services in the Mall of Georgia area.
