NEWS BRIEFS: County adopts unified plan amendments for six areas

Gwinnett commissioners have adopted six small area plans as amendments to the county’s 2045 Unified Plan.

The plans amend the County’s 2045 Unified Plan and focus on Bethesda, Centerville, Killian Hill, Northbrook Parkway, Oakbrook Parkway and Venture Drive. Each was developed in partnership with the community and includes recommendations for land use, housing, economic development, mobility and open space.

Planning and Development Director Matt Dickison said the plans are critical tools to shape future investments. “With input from hundreds of residents and stakeholders, each plan outlines a clear vision and path forward,” said Dickison. “This helps us target resources where they’ll have the most impact.”

The adopted plans now become part of Gwinnett’s long-range strategy for managing growth and development.”
