FOCUS: Peachtree Corners’ bridge: From city-lite to big government

By Ali Stinson | It was barely four years ago when Mike Mason was the president of the United Peachtree Corners Civic Association on the campaign trail to sell us all on a new concept in local government that he branded “city-lite.”

As the story went, this was a brand new form of government: a city chartered for only three services – trash collection, code enforcement, and planning and zoning. He touted a financial study that said the whole thing could be run for $750,000. It was all very simple. He promised local control of whether and where apartments would be built and cheaper trash collection.

Continuing objectives

Gwinnett Forum publisher Elliott Brack suggests Gwinnett County needs a long-range list of continuing objectives for improving the county. His 2025 list:

Move statewide non-partisan judicial and school board elections to the date of the General Election.
More creative efforts to support the arts in Gwinnett.
Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
Gwinnett planners to encourage condos and townhouses instead of apartments.
County-wide microtransit services.
