Lawrenceville renames street to college as “Grizzly Parkway”
The route between downtown Lawrenceville and Georgia Gwinnett College is getting a new name. The Lawrenceville City Council voted to rename Collins Hill Extension as “Grizzly Parkway”. The name of the road between Tanner Street and Hurricane Shoals Road is a 2.2-mile stretch, formerly referred to as the College Corridor.
“Grizzly Parkway” was selected by Dr. Jann Joseph, president of Georgia Gwinnett College. During the council presentation by Jim Wright, City Engineer, Councilman Glenn Martin stated, “We are proud of our association (with Georgia Gwinnett College), and it would be my privilege to put forward the consideration of that name.” Signs indicating the new street name will be placed shortly.
Annandale $6 million capital campaign at 83% of goal
Annandale Village has launched Campaign Annandale, a transformational $6 million capital campaign to revitalize the Patricia M. Brown Center for Programs on the Annandale campus.
Located in Suwanee, Annandale Village is the only nonprofit in the southeastern United States providing progressive life assistance for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities and acquired brain injuries, from independent apartments and community-based living to semi-independent, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.
Since the Program Center was built in the early 1990s, significant progress in education, research and program development has advanced the entire field of developmental disabilities. The once state-of-the-art building no longer functions at its best, but Annandale Village’s visionary strategic plan calls for the construction of a new Program Center, allowing it to once again function as a responsive and welcoming environment.
Campaign Annandale has officially launched to raise funds for the construction of this new Program Center. Thanks to the generosity of its donors and supporters, Annandale Village has raised more than $5 million to date and is approximately 85 percent of the way toward meeting the $6 million goal.
Almost one-third of the funds raised so far have come from foundations, including the Scott Hudgens Family Foundation, the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation, the Truist Foundation, the Enterline Foundation, the Alvah and Wyline P. Chapman Foundation, the Truist Trustee Foundations: Walter H. and Marjory M. Rich Memorial Fund, The Green-Sawtell Foundation, The Thomas Guy Woolford Charitable Trust and the Harriett McDaniel Marshall Trust, and an anonymous funder.
Along with making a gift, community members can purchase a commemorative stone paver that will be included in the entrance of the revitalized Program Center. To donate, purchase a paver and to learn more about Campaign Annandale, interested community members can visit annandale.org/capitalcampaign.
