FOCUS: Looking back at a decade of progress for Gwinnett’s first CID
By Chuck Warbington | A decade seems like a long time, but in retrospect it feels no more than a blink of an eye. That’s how long the Gwinnett Village Community Investment District (CID) has been working to make southwestern Gwinnett County a better place, and it’s how long I’ve proudly held the position of executive director. The time has come to pass the baton of leadership to the next person, who will no doubt bring fresh ideas and a renewed energy to making a significant, positive impact on this community. As I transition to a new challenge, I have taken time to reflect on the work our CID team has accomplished to date.
FOCUS: Group seeks to have 50,000 conversations about transportation
By Joel Wascher | The week of August 24-28, leaders as well as hundreds of other volunteers in Gwinnett will be focusing on what role transportation plays in shaping Gwinnett’s future, and what they want that future to look like. The program, called the “Gr8 Exchange on Transportation,” was kicked off on August 3 with nearly 100 community leaders starting the conversation on this subject.
Gwinnett Forum | Dec. 20, 2024
“….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).
