Gwinnett County is laying down tracks for the future, with the Board of Commissioners giving the green light to six small area plans that slot into the County’s 2045 Unified Plan. According to recent reports from the Gwinnett County’s website, these plans, which cover Bethesda, Centerville, Killian Hill, Northbrook Parkway, Oakbrook Parkway, and Venture Drive, are not just drawn up in a vacuum; they were crafted with robust community partnership, speaking volumes to the local ethos and getting the community in on the ground floor of planning for land use, housing, economic development, mobility, and open space.
It’s a move that Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson believes truly captures the essence of the community’s voice and vision “These plans reflect what we heard directly from the people who live, work, and do business in these communities,” Hendrickson said in a statement by Gwinnett County, highlighting the proactive approach the county is taking to welcome growth while keeping the unique tapestry of each area’s character and needs well intact. Matt Dickison, the Planning and Development Director, echoed this sentiment, pointing out the critical role these plans play in shaping future investments and such endeavors, with input from hundreds of residents and stakeholders, each vision and path laid out in the plans are aimed at channeling resources for maximum community impact.
The inclusion of these small area plans means Gwinnett’s not just dreaming about the future; they’re building the foundations for it, today.
