FOCUS: Regional Commission makes awards to two Gwinnett cities
By Jim Jaquish | ATLANTA, Ga. — The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded $800,000 in its latest round of Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) grants to two Gwinnett County cities, and six other communities. The LCI grants will help these communities create new plans for quality growth and help develop innovative policies that support more vibrant, connected communities. Once their studies and plans are complete, these communities will be eligible for additional LCI funding for transportation projects needed to implement their plans.

“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).
